Other commitments include reforming planning rules and setting a target to fast track 150 decisions on major infrastructure by the end of the current Parliament.
In a speech on the Government’s Plan for Change, revealed on December 5th , he said: “Since July 2024, the Government has lifted the ban on onshore wind, consented more solar power than over the last 14 years and held a record-breaking renewables auction.
“We have also set up Clean Power 2030, led by Chris Stark, to drive though our clean power agenda, breaking down barriers and accelerating progress on energy projects.
“The forthcoming Clean Power 2030 Action Plan will set out the further steps we will take, including reforming the planning system and building the grid.
“In delivering our next steps, we will do things differently. We will ensure the economic benefits of clean energy and net zero are felt by workers and billpayers across the country.
“We know that the clean energy transition is one of the economic opportunities of the 21st century, protecting consumers from future price shocks, creating new and innovative businesses, and bringing good jobs to workers.”
