Lastly, resistance from declining industries may impact the transition. The pace of the transition depends not only on (economic) decisions by entrepreneurs, but also on how desirable policy makers consider it. Solar energy aligns with many policy objectives (clean air, poverty alleviation, energy security 54).
Each worker is playing a vital role in the energy transition. Shaun Spiers, executive director at Green Alliance, said: Achieving clean power by 2030 will be genuinely transformational for the UK energy system, good for households and good for the economy. The government’s new plan sets them up to succeed in 2025, a make-or-break year.
The government has launched the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, which sets out how it intends to achieve its "clean power goal" of generating at least 95% of Great Britain's electricity consumption from clean sources by 2030.
Renewable energy statistics 2024, International Renewable Energy Agency, Abu Dhabi. Renewable power generation costs in 2023, International Renewable Energy Agency, Abu Dhabi. The first report in this series will highlight the roles of solar PV and storage in meeting global renewable power capacity targets.
Political tension on the use of land and water (for floating photovoltaics 57) may increase as solar shares rise. A rapid solar transition may also put at risk the livelihood of up to 13 million people worldwide working in fossil fuel industries and dependent industries.
Getting to clean power by 2030 is tough but achievable; it will require unprecedented pace by government, industry and regulators. We’re already helping to speed things up and unlock the investment needed by cutting red tape, fast-tracking grid expansion and getting more clean power projects connected.
