LevelTen Energy’s Post

The Weald Action Group has responded to the government’s consultation on proposed revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework. We welcome the proposed policies on renewable energy, which “direct decision makers to give significant weight to the benefits associated with renewable and low carbon energy generation”. And point out the NPPF should at the same time reduce the weight given to fossil fuel exploration and extraction. Increasing the weight on one side of the scales, has to mean that the weight given on the other side is reduced in order to achieve the policy goals of the Government. You can see our proposed amendments to the consultation draft here: https://lnkd.in/e-yuuKqn

Matteo Quatraro, Head of Portfolio at Gravis, dives into the targets set out by the UK government for decarbonising the energy sector. With the goal of decarbonising electricity generation by 2035 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050, the wind energy sector is positioned to play a crucial role. To meet the government's projections of increasing renewable capacity from 56GW to between 140 and 170GW, strong and consistent support for renewable energy investments is vital.

For our most recent webinar, we welcomed Blake Shaffer (University of Calgary), Leonard Kula (Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA), and independent economist Edgardo Sepulveda to explore the benefits and challenges of market-based approaches to building an electricity system, using Alberta’s unique grid as a case study.    Edgardo Sepulveda recently authored a report for the Alberta Federation of Labour recommending that Alberta reimpose economic regulations and create a Crown corporation to balance ownership and mitigate energy price volatility. Want to learn more about the pros and cons of a market-based approach to achieving a net-zero electricity system by 2050?
