In the UK Government Autumn Statement, the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s focus on creating the conditions for continued investment in renewable energy sector while reducing the planning burden associated with critical infrastructure developments, is welcomed by all at APEM Group.
The Chancellor continued to place the UK at the forefront of the global push to deliver clean energy – a necessary component to deliver a shared natural environment that can be enjoyed and protected for generations to come.
In outlining various investment initiatives, the UK Government is committed to keeping the UK leading the world in the offshore renewables sector by reducing the timescales associated with gaining consent to build and increasing certainty, enabling financial investment decisions that can deliver the UK’s bold Net Zero ambitions.
Unlocking the next stage of investment in the UK’s offshore wind industry is critical for the success of the industry. Our key takeaways from the Autumn Statement include:
The Chancellor’s focus on unblocking the planning process by making the UK’s planning regime more efficient and effective will enable critical infrastructure to be build quicker while ensuring the impact of development on the environment is minimised.
Our key takeaways from the Autumn Statement include:
At APEM Group, we already focus on ways to maximise efficiencies in the planning process for our clients and look forward to the future benefits these planned changes will bring.
The release of critical investment through Full Expensing, coupled with the potential for earlier grid connection dates, will further help to speed up the delivery of important renewable energy projects.
In summary, APEM Group believe that the continued investment in the UK renewables and infrastructure sectors and an effective planning regime are key to delivering a future where clean energy, clean water and clean infrastructure are crucial to delivering the UK’s net zero goals and protecting and enhancing our shared natural environment for the benefit of all.
