Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Carbon Budget: Climate Change Advisory Council

2:00 am

Ms Marie Donnelly:

We definitively can make some of those targets. I am somewhat sceptical that we would do it by 2030 but I think we will be able to get offshore wind off the east coast in the early part of the next decade. That will be significant because the proximate nature of offshore wind on the east coast is important with regard to the level of demand for energy on the east coast. They will fit together well. It is a priority for the Government to make the policy known, to publicise it, deliver on it and reassure investors that we are sticking to the line and we are delivering.
