The UK has once again slipped down international rankings for attractive renewable energy markets after the new government’s decisions to close Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and approve Hinkley Point C “dealt a blow” to the country’s prospects.

The UK government has approved the controversial Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant after months of intense speculation over its future.

The UK can successfully tackle the challenges of the energy trilemma without building Hinkley Point C according to a new report from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) out today.

A think tank that includes senior Conservative figures among its members has called for the government to call time on the Hinkley C nuclear power plant.

The future of the controversial Hinkley Point C nuclear plant remains in doubt despite being approved by EDF’s board after the government sought more time to decide.
