In their Review of Energy Policy 2024, UKERC set out the key energy priorities for the new Labour Government.
In the report, we emphasise that clean power in 2030 is just a first step towards a more expansive vision for clean energy through the 2030s and beyond. The Review outlines actions to protect poorer households, manage the transition away from gas, bring benefits to British industry and protect the local environment.
In the review, we outline the following key considerations.
- Ensure that the energy transition delivers for vulnerable consumers.
- 2030 is just one step on the way to a bigger mission.
- Address the continued use of gas and its decommissioning.
- 50% of industrial energy consumption is still provided by fossil fuels.
- Placing protection of nature at the heart of the energy transition.
The report also explores the interplay of Welsh and UK Energy Policies as a case study of an integrated energy system and industrial decarbonisation.
