Britain has no clear strategy on how it plans to meet a target of decarbonising its electricity system by 2035, threatening efforts to boost energy security, the country’s climate change advisers said on Thursday.
The report said swift reforms could help Britain to generate about 70% of its electricity from renewable sources, with nuclear and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage accounting for roughly 20% by 2035.
Only 2% of supply is expected to come from gas power plants without carbon capture technology. Such plants currently account for about 40% of the country's electricity supply. "The UK is a world leader in efforts to reach net zero and we have a laser-like focus on maintaining that position," the spokesperson added.
“If climate resilience is neglected in this investment, there is significant risk of locking in increased climate vulnerability or additional costs later on,” the report said.
