Labour must speed up wind power expansion or miss targets, says renewables industry

Green energy executives say plans for new power projects need to be more ambitious to achieve net zero grid by 2030

Labour's clean energy targets may already be in jeopardy just weeks after the party came to power with the promise to quadruple Britain's offshore wind power, according to senior industry executives.

The offshore wind industry has said there will not be enough time to develop the projects needed to create a net zero electricity system by the end of the decade unless ministers increase the ambition and funding of the government's upcoming make or break" subsidy auctions.
