The UK government, along with its counterparts in Scotland and Wales, has asked the country’s grid operator to develop a plan to speed up the deployment of renewable power generation.
Britain’s National Energy System Operator will develop a methodology for the so-called Strategic Spatial Energy Plan by the end of the year, according to a document published Tuesday. Speeding up the planning of low-carbon energy infrastructure is critical to the government’s aim to reach a clean power grid by the end of the decade.
