Decentralised energy sector ready to move at pace with Government

Now is the time to push further in decarbonising the UK’s heat and energy systems to provide a secure future for Britain, says the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE) in response to the King’s Speech earlier today.

The trade association, which represents more than 150 organisations from the energy sector, welcomes Labour’s drive to deliver a mass acceleration of renewable energy across the UK through GB Energy. Sarah Honan, Head of Policy at the ADE, said: “The King’s speech has set the tone for the pace at which Labour intend to roll out policies in their first 100 days, and the decentralised energy sector is ready to take the brakes off with them.

“The mass acceleration of renewables is only possible if a smart and flexible optimised system is prioritised. Unlocking the potential of a demand-led system is the only way the UK can achieve true energy independence and security. Now is the time to use investment - through initiatives such as the National Wealth Fund - to deliver the green industrial revolution. This will ensure a prosperous future is secured for Britain, all whilst meeting legally binding net zero targets.”
