How can coordination of offshore energy infrastructure be improved to facilitate efficient deployment of offshore wind and promote hybrid solutions such as the North Seas grid, including consideration of: the level of deployment at which the benefits of coordination outweigh the risks under the current regime?
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
