As the UK transitions to net zero the capacity of renewable generation and storage connected to the grid will need to significantly increase from the current volumes. However, the deployment of this renewable capacity at pace is not without its challenges. Difficult macroeconomic conditions, growing international competition for capital, issues around planning permission and grid capacity, and policy uncertainty are some of the obstacles facing renewable developers and investors.
Held at Weightmans’ London offices on 19 September, this release event for the report “Hurdling to Net Zero: Overcoming the Obstacles for Renewable Deployment & Investment”, written in partnership by Cornwall Insight and UK law firm Weightmans, centred around the main barriers to renewable deployment and steps that Government and industry can take to overcome them.
