Paragraph: 19
Government's ambitious 2035 decarbonised electricity targets require substantial capacity increase and urgent planning.
Conclusion
The Government has set stretching overall ambitions for the generating capacity required to supply the GB electricity grid with decarbonised energy by 2035. To meet these, current capacity will have to increase by 250% in a little over a decade. Planning for this wholesale electrification of the economy ought to be well under way to ensure that the 2035 deadline is met.
