Consultation on UK Renewable Energy Strategy
The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) has launched a consultation on the UK Renewable Energy Strategy, seeking views on how to drive up the use of renewable energy as part of the UK’s overall strategy for tackling climate change. The consultation considers a number of measures that have the potential to achieve 15% of the UK’s energy consumption from renewables by 2020. These measures aim to stimulate the market to deliver the necessary investment in the most cost effective way by providing a clear long term framework and removing the obstacles to increasing renewable generation - while ensuring that sustainability concerns are minimised. These will help the UK meet its share of the EU target to source 20% of the EU’s energy from renewable sources by 2020
