The UK government has introduced the most ambitious energy system reforms in a generation with the Clean Power Action Plan. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband highlighted the plan's aims to unlock £40 billion of mainly private investment in clean power projects by 2030. The plan focuses on cleaning up the grid, prioritizing 2030 projects, and reforms for homegrown clean power. It aligns with the National Energy System Operator's guidance on achieving over 95% clean power by 2030. The government aims to overhaul the grid connection queue, reform planning processes, and increase onshore and offshore wind, solar, hydrogen, and other sources for the energy mix by 2030. The plan also includes measures to boost renewables auctions, stimulate supply chain investments, and empower consumers with cheaper energy tariffs. Despite some criticism, the plan is seen as a positive step towards energy security, lower bills, job creation, and climate action in the UK's energy sector.
