UK Government Aims to Double Onshore Wind Capacity
News summary

The UK's new Labour-led Government plans to double onshore wind generation capacity by 2030, aiming to accelerate grid decarbonization and energy security. Planning barriers have been lifted to boost renewables, but challenges like supply chain inflation and grid delays persist. A new industry task force involving various stakeholders, chaired by Miliband and EDF Renewables' CEO, will address these hurdles and assess environmental impacts and economic opportunities. In addition, a 924-megawatt offshore wind project, Sunrise Wind, is underway on Long Island, creating jobs and advancing New York's green economy. Labour's proposed Crown Estate Bill seeks to expand wind farms along 6,500 miles of coastline by leveraging Crown-owned seabed rights and enabling borrowing for net-zero projects.
