Like many others worldwide, the UK’s power sector is grappling with the complexities of integrating a surge of new cleantech power sources, including wind and solar, into the national grid.
The UK power sector faces urgent challenges in integrating renewable energy into the grid. With more than 50GW of new capacity targeted by 2030, major grid upgrades and energy storage investments are essential, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC.
The crucial role of oil and gas in the UK’s energy transition and supply chain cannot be overstated.
Oil and gas are pivotal to the UK’s energy transition, but current policies limit their potential to support net-zero goals. Balancing support for conventional and emerging technologies is essential for a successful transition, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC
EIC has represented energy companies’ interests for more than 80 years.
Despite the evolution of the UK energy sector, the supply chain remains unheard and under-supported, with critical gaps in policy and investment. This is causing significant disruption and missed opportunities for the sector as it transitions to a sustainable and integrated energy future – a reality that EIC’s new manifesto seeks to address, writes Tom Wadlow
The success of the renewable energy sector relies on stable and consistent government policies, a principle that holds for all sectors.
Stable government support and industry collaboration are crucial to driving innovation and growth in renewable energy, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC.
