Description

In this Energy Conversation, Dr Joffe discussed the role of a decarbonised electricity system in meeting the overall Net Zero target and how this could be delivered. He presented findings from a new report from the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) discussing the priority actions and strategy recommendations for a rapid transformation of the electricity system. The government’s 2030 challenge sets ambitions very high. A plan for 2030 cannot simply be an acceleration of a 2035 plan. The report sets out what a radical approach to electricity system decarbonisation would look like.
