Recommendation 1
1
Paragraph: 16
Specify domestic supply targets for UK battery demand by 2030 and 2040, including scaling-up plan
Recommendation
In the forthcoming UK Battery Strategy, the Government should specify the extent to which future demand for batteries in the UK should be supplied by domestic sources in 2030 and 2040, along with a 10-year plan for scaling-up this capacity and an estimate of the public money required to do so. To match our competitors, the UK Government should consider targeting at least 90% of the UK’s annual demand for batteries to be met from domestic supplies by 2030.
