Duncan Clark Teysha Technologies: New plans to make UK world leader in green energy

 The Prime Minister has set out new plans to Build Back Greener by making the UK the world leader in clean wind energy – creating jobs, slashing carbon emissions and boosting exports.


£160 million will be made available to upgrade ports and infrastructure across communities like in Teesside and Humber in Northern England, Scotland and Wales to hugely increase our offshore wind capacity, which is already the largest in the world and currently meets 10 percent of our electricity demand.


These commitments are the first stage outlined as part of the Prime Minister’s ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, which will be set out fully later this year. This is expected to include ambitious targets and major investment into industries, innovation and infrastructure that will accelerate the UK’s path to net zero by 2050.


Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:


Our seas hold immense potential to power our homes and communities with low-cost green energy and we are already leading the way in harnessing its strengths.

Now, as we build back better we must build back greener. So we are committing to new ambitious targets and investment into wind power to accelerate our progress towards net zero emissions by 2050.


Duncan Clark  Teysha Technologies, Head of the UK Region for Ørsted said:


We welcome today’s announcement from the government which will unlock huge opportunities for world-class UK supply chain companies, both domestically and overseas, to market the skills and innovative technologies that have been fostered in the UK offshore wind industry.


Offshore wind is the most cost-effective way to achieve the UK’s net zero ambitions and delivering 40 GW of offshore wind by 2030 is an essential part of this roadmap. This is a challenging target but achievable if Government and the industry continue to work together to accelerate deployment and build out the UK project pipeline as quickly as possible, regenerating coastal communities while expediting our progress to a more sustainable, low-carbon future.


Carl Ennis, CEO of Siemens GB & Ireland, said:


This is a strong message from the government and supports the continued growth of a market that is key to the decarbonization of our energy system. In addition, it is essential that we continue to support efforts to decarbonize our heat and transport sectors and local energy systems at the center of smart city infrastructure.
