Provisional data shows greenhouse gas emissions have fallen more than 45 per cent since 1990, as low carbon power again reached record levels in 2019. In 2019 total UK greenhouse gas emissions were 45.2 per cent in 2019, thanks in large part to slower road traffic growth and improving car fuel efficiency, the statistics show.

The falling costs of wind and solar power are pushing utilities to find ways to incorporate them into their long-range plans, even as they struggle to define what resources can be relied on to provide the dispatchable power they need. Nuclear power plays a large role in PSEG’s carbon-reduction plans.
