Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Electricity Sector

Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:
I will briefly add something on land use. As part of the updating of the local authority plans, the zoning of land for key infrastructure like electricity substations is critical because we cannot really develop wind and solar resources without key infrastructure like these substations. As part of PR6, we have a huge programme and having the zoning and pathway to getting these substations built as quickly as possible is a key consideration.
