Wider decarbonisation goals should be considered when planning grid infrastructure.
Recommendation
Wider decarbonisation goals should be considered when planning grid infrastructure. The UK Government should continue to appraise National Grid ESO’s Holistic Network Design and follow-up exercise with this in mind and ensure opportunities for decarbonisation in Wales are not missed when decisions over where to connect floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea are made. The UK Government should update us on work to strengthen the grid in South West Wales to accommodate future generation in the Celtic Sea.
