The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) published its Review of Energy Policy 2019, putting forward several recommendations for UK energy policy, including the introduction of a heat and energy efficiency White Paper. Published on Monday 9 December, the report finds that, although the focus during the election campaign has been on when the net zero target will be achieved, the government must specify what actions will be taken to achieve it. Policies to support renewable electricity generation should be more ambitious, building on deployment and cost reduction successes. The delay of the Energy White Paper means that there is currently no policy framework for this expansion in renewables.
