Recommendation 14
14
Paragraph: 77
Establish a UK-wide onshore wind target by 2035, informing an England-specific target.
Recommendation
The British Energy Security Strategy did not include a target for onshore wind, even though it is one of the cheapest and quickest sources of renewable electricity to deploy. We recommend that the UK Government works with the Scottish and Welsh Governments to agree a UK-wide target for the deployment of onshore wind by 2035, which should inform a specific target to increase the deployment of onshore wind in England.
