Good generation across the portfolio in a historic year for UK energy
“In a milestone year, Thrive generated enough clean energy to sustainably power the equivalent of over 40,000 UK homes. As we celebrate 30 years building and funding renewables, we’re more focussed than ever on widening our impact to ensure the benefits of renewables are felt by more individuals and communities across the UK. It was encouraging to see a number of positive policy updates from government last year, such as lifting the effective onshore wind ban. Now we need to keep this momentum up and work together at both a local and national level to accelerate the energy transition at the pace required in the climate emergency.”
Last year the UK energy transition reached new milestones, as the last coal fired power station closed its doors and the UK’s wind fleet set new records – becoming the largest source of electricity generation for the first year ever. Plus, there were a number of positive actions from government, culminating in the publication of their Clean Power 2030 Action Plan at the end of the year. Whilst we push for further action from government to accelerate the energy transition, we’re busy as ever building more renewables to lower emissions and create a fairer, more secure energy system.
