Labour is relying on offshore wind and a move away from gas to make Britain a green energy economy. But the transition will not be cheap

The Labour government came to power with a bold agenda to create a clean electricity system by 2030 to help make Great Britain a green energy superpower.

This week its vision has found a route towards becoming a reality via an independent report from the National Energy System Operator (Neso). The system operator’s twin pathways may help to assuage the scepticism: it found that the government’s clean power plan is technically possible by the end of the decade – but only if urgent action is taken to speed up Britain’s green agenda.
