UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, in her first Budget speech, announced funding for 11 green hydrogen projects in various locations in Britain, including Bridgend, East Renfrewshire, and Barrow-in-Furness. This step is part of the government's vision to transform the UK into a clean energy superpower. The Budget also included support for the establishment of GB Energy in Aberdeen and emphasized the importance of clean energy initiatives. Industry reactions were generally positive, with experts welcoming the green energy investments. However, concerns were raised about the need for clearer support for businesses in transitioning to green energy and decarbonisation efforts. Experts highlighted the importance of smart storage solutions, flexible power systems, and a clear roadmap for decarbonising commercial and industrial sectors. While the funding pledges were seen as valuable political signals, calls were made for a more ambitious policy and regulatory framework to drive decarbonisation and ensure long-term financial and quality of life benefits.
