Reaching net zero by 2050 means the UK must simultaneously decarbonise its power sector in just over a decade and enable a growing number of industries to run on clean electricity. Making this happen in practice requires cracking on with rolling out a significant volume of new grid infrastructure, supporting low carbon innovation in industry and making it much easier for heavy industries to access the plentiful volumes of affordable and zero carbon electricity they need.

Decarbonising industrial processes might be a significant challenge, but it’s one that offers UK sectors like steel, cement and chemicals the opportunity to compete in new, quickly growing markets for greener goods. That means new jobs, growth, levelling up, and exports. This is at a time when UK businesses are already struggling to compete with high carbon industrial products from the likes of China and India. To make the move, low carbon electricity is key. This report outlines the policies needed to decarbonise the UK’s electricity supply, and accelerate the roll out of the new industrial infrastructure through which it will flow.
