By comparison, the CfD awarded to Hinkley Point C nuclear power station is £106.12/MWh. The most recent CfD auction for offshore wind resulted in a strike price of £46/MWh – one-third of the cost of the MGT Teesside’s award in today’s prices. Unlike cheap wind and solar power, biomass?power MWh at current rates.

That is why we are fully committing to nuclear power in the UK, backing a new generation of small modular reactors, and investing tens of billions in clean energy through carbon capture. We don't want to see high bills like this again, it's time for a clean energy reset.

Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind. For instance, a large-scale electrolysis project in Corpus Christi, Texas would convert low-cost Texas wind power into green hydrogen and ultimately into green ammonia.

France built nuclear power. Denmark looked to offshore wind. Yet, despite years of government R&D and subsidies, Danish wind power didn't become commercially viable until, in 1991, the nation instigated a feed-in tariff - a subsidy that guarantees a long-term, fixed price for renewable power plants.

Poland accelerates coal phase out, pushes for nuclear and offshore wind. Poland is the only member of the EU which has so far refused to commit to net zero emissions by 2050, with the country seeking more time to reconfigure its economy, which is heavily reliant on coal-fired power stations and coal mining.

But how green are the energy sources powering our EVs? Currently, electricity in the UK is supplied by a variety of generators, including fossil fuels, nuclear power, and large and small-scale renewables. In Europe, the share of energy from renewable sources in gross electricity consumption is 34 per cent on average.
