Clean Power 2030 Action Plan

The Clean Power 2030 Action Plan sets out how the UK government will work with the clean power sector, including industry, trade unions, investors, policy makers and others, to achieve its clean power goal. The goal is to have clean sources produce at least as much power as consumed in the whole year, and at least 95% of the power generated. Unabated gas supply will be used only when essential. 43-50 GW of offshore wind, 27-29 GW of onshore wind, and 45-47 GW of solar power will be added.The UK will invest around £40 billion per year for six years from 2025 to 2030. Actions to accelerate the delivery of clean power include: reforming grid connections; reforming the planning system; renewal and nuclear project delivery; electricity market reform; short-duration energy storage and flexibility; long-duration flexible capacity; more sustainable supply chains and a skilled workforce.The plan will reduce over-reliance on fossil fuels and exposure to the cost of globally traded oil and gas in the context of recent global insecurity.
