Conclusion
We welcome the fact that EN-1 has been revised to reflect the Government’s commitment to deliver net zero by 2050, and to move away from reliance on fossil fuels. Meeting our net zero target will require a significant scale and pace of change in delivering new energy infrastructure. We therefore welcome the Government’s timely review of the National Policy Statement for Energy and its recognition that significant changes to the planning framework for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) is required.
