The National Energy System Operator (NESO) advice to the UK government on delivering Clean Power 2030 is a landmark moment for the UK's energy transition and a step change in action. Labour's manifesto also set out a commitment to delivering 8 GW of local and community-owned energy via the Local Power Plan.

We believe it is critical that the UK government recognises the enormous value of local and community-owned energy, and makes this a key part of the CP2030 mission. That's why we have joined a coalition of leading organisations to urge the Secretary of State to ensure that local and community energy is designated as 'needed' in the Clean Power 2030 Plan and any subsequent grid connections reform.

By doing so, we can accelerate the net zero transition in a way that benefits for people and communities, building broader support for the shared Clean Power mission in the process.
