UK's bid to power every home via offshore windfarms by 2030 at risk

Germany's RWE says outdated regulation is slowing investment in onshore electricity grid

Britain's bid to build enough offshore windfarms to power every home in the country by 2030 risks being derailed by outdated regulation which is slowing investment in the electricity grid, according to one of the industry's biggest players.

Germany's RWE has warned that work to connect the growing number of windfarms off the UK coast to the onshore electricity grid will not keep pace with the government's goals unless decades-old regulation allows for faster investments.
