The UK woke up to a new Labour government that is expected to be more supportive of the renewables industry and the net zero cause. The Labour Party's manifesto includes commitments to boost renewable energy capacities by 2030, such as increasing onshore wind to 35GW, tripling solar PV to 50GW, and quadrupling offshore wind to 55GW. One key element is the creation of GB Energy, receiving £8.3 billion funding to invest in emerging energy technologies like onshore wind, solar, hydrogen, and nuclear. The government aims to have 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans sold be zero-emission by 2030, reaching 100% by 2035. The industry responded positively to these commitments, with stakeholders emphasizing the importance of translating ambitions into concrete actions, especially in cutting energy bills and decarbonizing homes. Challenges such as grid infrastructure constraints and planning inefficiencies were highlighted as potential roadblocks to achieving the zero-carbon grid vision by 2030. The focus on electric vehicles was also noted, with Labour reinstating the 2030 ZEV targets and pledging support for a circular economy for critical minerals and domestic battery manufacturing. Industry leaders expressed optimism about the potential economic and environmental benefits of Labour's ambitious targets and plans.
