Industry Tracks: Energy Transition will begin at 15:00 BST

The Energy Whitepaper, released in December 2020, outlines a roadmap to decarbonise UK energy systems for the first time in over a decade. The long-awaited strategy outlines key investment and project development areas putting the energy transition – especially scaling clean energy sources – at the heart of the recovery efforts. Decarbonising the power sector and our energy sources has been the driving force behind the UK’s emission reductions to date. The Energy Track asks whether this new energy roadmap will be a decisive and permanent shift away from fossil fuels and examines whether the 10-Point Plan goes far enough to support innovation in the energy sector, encourage greater public-private cooperation at local and regional level, and continue to keep pace with the emission reductions needed to mee the UK net zero target?
