Overview

• Labour plans to invest in upgrading the UK's electricity grid to facilitate renewable energy connections.
• The current grid connection process causes delays for clean energy developers, with projects worth over £200 billion stuck in the queue.
• Labour's proposal aims to deliver the largest upgrade to the UK's transmission infrastructure in a generation.
• The plans intend to cut £93 billion from UK energy bills by 2030 while ending compensation payments to renewable generators for turning off when the grid is overloaded.
• Labour positions the infrastructure investment as key to reaching the country's net zero emissions target.
