Recommendation 20
20
Implement Connections Action Plan, prioritising renewable energy and decarbonised applications connections.
Conclusion
The Government and Ofgem must implement in full the changes proposed in the Connections Action Plan. This must entail, for example, the prioritisation of short- term grid requirements, so as to incentivise network operators to prioritise renewable energy connections. The connection of grid inputs from solar and wind, generation, and outputs serving decarbonised applications such as heat pumps and electric vehicle charging, must be prioritised in parallel with connections for larger nuclear and carbon-emitting technologies.
