Labour’s 2030 green energy goal faces ‘significant challenges’, experts warn

UK Energy Research Centre says there is ‘very little room for error’ to avoid delays and protect vulnerable people

Labour’s plan to switch to a clean power system by 2030 faces “significant challenges” to avoid delays and prevent vulnerable households paying higher bills, experts have warned.

The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) has said there is “very little room for error” in meeting the government’s plan to create a 95% low-carbon electricity grid by the end of the decade.
