Government's Energy White Paper provides greater clarity for companies investing in renewables

14 December 2020 - RenewableUK press release


Welcoming the publication of the Government's Energy White Paper, RenewableUK's Chief Executive Hugh McNeal said:


"Today’s white paper provides greater clarity to the companies investing across the UK to deliver our net zero emissions target. Wind and renewable energy will be at the centre of our future energy system, providing the clean electricity and green hydrogen we need to decarbonise our economy. The next generation of onshore and offshore wind farms will bring tens of billions of pounds of investment to support a green recovery and create thousands of jobs across the country as we transition away from fossil fuels. To meet the goals set out in the white paper, it’s clear that we have to double-down on renewables as the main source of energy for our homes, transport and industry".
