The Energy Networks Association (ENA) has released its own Ten Point Plan, highlighting the role of networks in supporting offshore wind, electric vehicles (EV) and hydrogen.
It follows the release of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s recent Ten Point Plan for climate action in November, which the ENA branded “the most significant policy intervention for the energy industry in nearly ten years”.
The Networks’ Ten Point Plan includes supporting increased levels of offshore wind by consolidating connections to minimise disruption onshore, as well as work on hybrid interconnections to make the networks smarter.
Support for electric and hydrogen buses forms the second point in the plan as public transport increasingly switches to low-carbon alternatives. In particular, electric bus depots in large cities like London will need innovative solutions and network reinforcement to allow them to manage such a large demand in a constrained area. Already there
