The Delivery Challenge in Energy It is an exciting and challenging time for the Energy sector in Great Britain. The mission is clear: to deliver an affordable, clean and reliable energy future. The pathways to get there are becoming clearer. The National Energy System Operator’s (NESO) “Clean Power 2030” report outlines a comprehensive strategy to achieve a predominantly clean electricity system in Great Britain by 2030. The key points include: Renewables Expansion: Emphasising rapid growth in renewable energy sources, particularly offshore wind but also solar Nuclear and Carbon Capture: Focusing on the development of nuclear power and implementation of carbon capture technologies Role of Gas-Fired Power Plants: While the reliance on gas-fired power plants is projected to decrease significantly by 2030, these facilities will remain essential as backup during periods of low renewable output Infrastructure Investment Requirements: Achieving the 2030 target will require substantial investments to support the expansion of electricity transmission infrastructure (the Great Grid Upgrade) and the development of renewable energy projects Urgent Need for Planning and Grid Connection Reforms: The report emphasises the necessity for swift reforms in planning and grid connection processes to facilitate the timely deployment of new projects. Streamlining these procedures is critical to meet the 2030 objectives.
This represents an unprecedented delivery challenge for the GB Energy sector and the challenge will continue far beyond the 2030 horizon. Success relies on collaboration across the sector but also on each organisation meeting their own delivery challenges, for example: Building the necessary skills, capabilities and workforce Developing capacity and capability in the supply chain which is already under pressure Putting the right technology in place to drive efficient and effective delivery and business operations In short, rapidly becoming a world class delivery organisation.
