UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiled the government's budget focused on advancing the country's energy transition and infrastructure development. Key highlights include a significant increase in the annual budget for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, reaching GBP 14.1 billion in 2024-25. The establishment of Great British Energy, a state-owned investment vehicle based in Aberdeen, will drive renewable energy projects and attract private investment. Additional funding for planning departments aims to expedite solar and storage deployment and grid upgrades. The budget also allocates more resources to heat pump grants, supporting their adoption in homes and commercial buildings. Notably, the budget confirms funding for commercial hydrogen projects, emphasizing the UK's commitment to green hydrogen production. Tax adjustments, including the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and energy profits levy changes, signal a shift towards decarbonization. Investments in electric vehicle infrastructure and support for EV purchases further promote clean transportation. Overall, the budget reflects a positive outlook on advancing sustainability and achieving net-zero goals in the UK.
