UK may achieve 2030 clean power goal with less offshore wind than planned

The UK may achieve its 2030 clean power goal with less offshore wind than previously planned. The National Energy System Operator suggests a mix of renewable energy and carbon capture technologies could meet targets, despite needing significant infrastructure changes. Currently, the UK has 15 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity. Plans propose adding 28 to 35 gigawatts, which falls short of Labour's promise to quadruple capacity. Achieving these goals will require rapid advancements across multiple energy technologies. The government aims to secure offshore wind capacity in upcoming allocation rounds. A detailed clean-grid plan is expected to be released soon, outlining necessary reforms to support energy production and investment.
