New clean Energy projects secured by UK government.... UK secures a record number of clean energy projects in state auction. Following these auctions, the UK has secured a record 131 clean energy projects, supporting the new Labour government’s aim to achieve a net-zero power system by 2030. A total of 9.6 GW of projects have won state subsidy contracts, which could provide electricity to 11 million homes across the UK. The recent auction secured 5 GW of offshore wind capacity, marking an improvement over last year when no offshore wind bids were successful. However, this achievement still leaves the government off track in its goal to quadruple offshore wind capacity by 2030. The total of 9.6 GW of capacity awarded across all sectors is 5.6 GW higher than last year's auction. The Labour government’s progress in renewable energy expansion could signal a bearish trend in energy futures due to reduced reliance on gas-fired generation. #2buy2 #energy #procurement
