Can the UK deliver clean power by 2030?
Manage episode 440503515 series 3576697
On this episode of the Clean Energy Pod, we discuss whether the UK Government's clean power mission by 2030 is possible. We are joined by Professor Keith Bell, Holder of the ScottishPower Chair in Future Power Systems at the University of Strathclyde, a co-Director of the UK Energy Research Centre and a member of the UK Government's Climate Change Committee.
We're making progress, but are we moving fast enough to meet our 2030 climate change targets? Professor Bell shares with us whether he thinks the Government's target is achievable, and what the UK would need to do to deliver clean power by 2030.
The Clean Energy Pod, powered by SSE, is your guide to the people and technologies delivering the clean energy transition.
