Responding to the Government’s announcement to speed up grid connections for clean energy projects, Dhara Vyas, chief executive at Energy UK, said:
“Connections reform is critical to delivering our clean power future – not just through streamlining the queue, but also by aligning investment, supply chains, and skills development with the Government’s 2030 ambition while giving investors the certainty they need. This infrastructure will enable new businesses and households to connect and existing homes and businesses to meet their energy, heating and transport needs with clean electricity. It is vital that close engagement with developers, investors and wider stakeholders continues as we see this crucial infrastructure built across the country.”
