A ‘Herculean effort' in renewable buildout is the description used in NESO's Clean Power 2030 report, outlining practical advice for the government on achieving a power system by 2030. The report defines what ‘Clean Energy' means (>95% clean power generation by 2030) and discusses what buildout would need to look like in order to reach these targets. A staggering 70GW of new renewable generation is predicted to be needed to reach the targets in the ambitious Further Flex and Renewables scenario. How might these suggestions be achieved in practice, and what challenges is the industry likely to face over the next 5 years in the lead-up to target dates?In this episode Modo Market Analyst, Joe Bush joins Ed Porter to explore NESO's Clean Power 2030 report. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:The purpose of the Clean Power 2030 report and what it covers.The sheer scale of buildout required to meet renewable and flexibility system targets, from 50 GW to 130 GW.Transmission and network challenges and how the government might tackle the issue of constraint.
