The UK government will publish its flexibility road map later this year, setting a precedent for the rollout of long-duration energy storage (LDES).

The UK government has opened consultation on a land use framework that could make it less likely “high quality farmland” is lost to renewable energy projects.

During the third quarter of 2024, renewables accounted for 50.5% of electricity generation in Great Britain.

Trade association Solar Energy UK says it expects solar generation to “considerably exceed” the target set in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan.

The latest solar energy statistics from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) have revealed that the UK now has over 17GW of installed solar capacity.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has announced it will delay the planning decision for a major proposed solar farm until 2025.

A total of 2.1GW new renewable generation capacity has come online since Q2 2023, representing a 3.9% increase over the last year, according to data published by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).

The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) issued a notice last week (13 September) that the government has acquired National Grid’s Electricity System Operator (ESO).

New data from the UK government has shown that the UK now has 16.9GW of solar capacity online, as of the end of June 2024.

Ed Miliband has been elected as the new Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero for the Labour government.
