Summary
Britain’s green energy push is gaining steam, with new renewable projects approved at twice the rate of the last government, but grid connection delays have long held things back. By clearing out stalled “zombie” projects, hundreds are now on track to power homes before 2030. Experts warn, however, that hitting the 95% zero-carbon target may be too ambitious—83% by 2030 might be more realistic, pushing full attainment to 2035. Still, renewables are surging: gas still covers 27% of power, but by decade’s end, clean sources will supply over 70%. This shift boosts energy security and shields households from volatile gas prices, delivering major climate wins even if the 2030 deadline slips.
