Labour's ambitious plan to decarbonize the UK's electricity grid by 2030 faces scrutiny from industry experts and unions, raising questions about its feasibility and potential economic impact.
With the election just one week away, Labour’s pledge to “make Britain a clean energy superpower” has sparked a debate on whether or not their net zero scheme is actually achievable. Sir Keir Starmer revealed that Labour’s transition team is considering setting up an office for Net Zero , should they win the election, in order to reach their target of decarbonising the electricity grid by 2030, five years before the Conservatives.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO of INEOS, also voiced his concern for Labour’s “absurd” manifesto, claiming that their policy will only lead to the UK importing their energy from overseas.
