The Economist: Britain needs an unprecedented expansion of the electricity grid
Britain's electricity grid needs a major expansion to meet decarbonization goals. Both the Conservatives and Labour promise a net-zero carbon grid by 2035 or 2030, respectively. Achieving this requires increased investment and government intervention to speed up the construction of new infrastructure. The creation of a state-owned grid operator, GB Energy, is part of Labour's more radical plan, while private operators hope for the opportunity to bid on grid projects. The challenge lies in securing public funding, clarifying the roles of state bodies, and addressing the need to upgrade distribution networks.
