The UK's Spring Budget 2022, presented by the first female chancellor Rachel Reeves, has garnered tentative support from the clean energy sector. Key announcements include the rise of the Energy Profits Levy (EPL) to 38% and the extension of the scheme to 2030, while maintaining allowances for decarbonisation. While some industry experts like Giles Hanglin of Apatura see this as a step towards the 'greenest budget in UK history,' concerns linger. The removal of the investment allowance and lack of changes to capital allowances for EPL purposes have raised eyebrows. The budget also allocates funds for 11 new green hydrogen projects across England, Scotland, and Wales, signaling a commitment to renewable energy. However, stakeholders like George Morrison of Aquaterra Energy stress the need for regulatory action and infrastructure investment for these projects to succeed. The North West Hydrogen Alliance and others welcomed the focus on hydrogen, emphasizing its role in decarbonizing key industries. Despite the positive reception, challenges such as financing and insurability concerns for new technologies like green hydrogen have been highlighted. Additionally, commentators noted the absence of mentions regarding electricity prices and grid connections, indicating areas that still need attention. Industry leaders emphasize the necessity of private capital incentivization and swift public sector actions to drive substantial changes in the UK's energy landscape. While the budget is praised for its green initiatives and support for clean energy, there are calls for a more robust strategy to address the complexities ahead. As the UK navigates its energy transition, balancing investments, infrastructure development, and industry support will be crucial for achieving a sustainable and resilient energy future.
