The proportion of global power generation represented by VRE, such as wind and solar power, has been rising rapidly since 2007. However, the variable nature of generation from wind and solar can pose challenges to grids. Existing hydropower plants can also help with this large ramp up power.

But Imperial College London analysis warns emerging technologies and negative emission power plants are likely to be needed to unlock full decarbonisation of the grid. Wind and solar alone generated around 30 per cent of Britain's electricity in 2020, while biomass provided seven per cent, and hydropower made up 1.6

The authors of the report also showed that carbon emissions fell by 16% compared to figures from 2019. Back in 2011, the UK was hovering at just 12% renewable generation, but energy policy and an appetite for change is rapidly accelerating our developments. Covid19 created a fall in generation demand. The greatest successes.

Yet while the failure to price in the costs of greenhouse gas emissions was famously described by economist Lord Nicholas Stern as the biggest market failure in history, attempts to bring in carbon pricing measures worldwide such as taxes and emissions trading schemes have had only limited success to date.

Yet, practices can lead to a vast amount of unnecessary waste, habitat destruction, and carbon emissions depending on how you choose to operate. This is concerning when we think about the scale of the solar power industry, and how much this industry is expected to grow. In 2020, solar power accounted for 3.1%

The policy steps the administration has proposed provide clarity on the path forward, helping households, businesses and investors plan and invest. In particular, the plan adopts a technology-neutral Clean Electricity Standard, which puts us on the path to achieving 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2035.
