Responding to National Grid’s announcement that the majority of Britain’s electricity production will come from zero carbon sources rather than fossil fuels in 2019 Kyle Martin, Head of Market Insight at LCP said:

"National Grid’s announcement proves how far Britain has come in decarbonising its electricity system and confirms that the current policy tools are delivering decarbonisation and security of supply at least cost to consumers. Although there will be more challenges as we continue to decarbonise the power system as well as the wider economy today’s announcement shows what’s possible when Government provides a clear direction of travel.
