Infrastructure essential to decarbonise electricity generation by 2030 met with resistance by those affected
More than 600,000km of power lines will have to be unrolled across the UK over the next few years for the country to properly decarbonise.More than 600,000km of power lines will have to be unrolled across the UK over the next few years for the country to properly decarbonise.
According to Hirst, farmers in the Amber Valley have diversified into tourism and visitors to these Peak District fringes increasingly support local jobs for young people. So how is this going to work? For the government to meet the ambitious target of decarbonising electricity generation by 2030, new infrastructure – including wind turbines, on and offshore; solar farms; and new transmission systems such as pylons – will be essential.
. He said: “There’s a controversial proposal where there’s huge local concern about the impact on agricultural land, on traffic, on local communities, on the landscape. So what I’m arguing for is a pause while the other options are considered, because of course we need the infrastructure; it’s a matter of doing it in the right way that has a long-term benefit.”party says it can meet its ambition of being a “clean energy superpower” only by building the new infrastructure necessary.
Campaigners in some of the most affected constituencies are galvanising resistance to pylons. Nearly 37,000 people have signed a petition against the, the deputy cabinet member for nationally significant infrastructure projects for Suffolk county council, said: “The vast scale of change necessary for the new government to reach its goal is such that we are sitting on the cusp of what is almost a mini Industrial Revolution.
There are ways for Labour to minimise the disruption and emphasise the benefits to local communities, by focusing on energy bill reductions and the need to tackle the climate crisis. Under the last government, there was a lack of central planning for renewable energy, and projects were brought to the National Grid individually and piecemeal. A coordinated approach could mean better planning for infrastructure, and pylon routes rationalised.
