Labour's Green Energy Pledge for UK's Clean Energy Superpower Status by 2030
The UK's Labour Party has pledged to make the country a clean energy superpower by 2030, including overturning a ban on new onshore wind farms and respecting any oil and gas licences granted before the next election. The party aims to decarbonize the country's electricity system by 2030, requiring a significant increase in renewable power such as wind and solar. Labour leader Keir Starmer also set out pledges for 100% clean and affordable power by 2030, establishing a publicly-owned energy company, creating a National Wealth Fund to invest in green technologies, and upgrading poorly insulated homes.
