Grid Offers Unlock 700+ Clean Energy Projects
10 Jun
Summary
- Over 700 clean energy projects secured grid connection offers.
- These projects represent nearly 60% of needed 2030 clean power goals.
- Speculative 'zombie projects' were removed to clear the backlog.
The National Energy System Operator (Neso) has issued grid connection offers to over 700 clean energy projects across Great Britain since the start of 2026. This achievement follows a two-year effort to resolve significant delays that threatened the nation's clean power goals.
These projects, which include wind and solar farms, battery storage, and hydro plans, represent nearly 60% of the schemes required to meet the government's objective of a virtually carbon-free grid by 2030. This progress was made possible by clearing hundreds of speculative applications that had created a backlog in the connection queue.
