Weekend press: SSE rules out new onshore wind farms in England and Wales

In this weekend’s papers, the boss of SSE rules out building new onshore wind farms in England and Wales, saying the company is focusing on offshore wind despite the relaxation of planning rules and the absence of the latter from last week’s CfD auctions.

‘Not a single person in supply chain’ thinks UK will hit net zero targets

Not a single person in the supply chain believes UK net zero targets will be achieved.

Based on the views of 96 supply chain bosses, the EIC report concludes that “widespread delays in project funding strongly signposts that the UK is not going to meet its legally binding 2050 net zero target, and neither will Scotland meet its 2045 target”.
