Minister for Climate Kerry McCarthy recently went to the Orkney Islands in Scotland, where she saw how emerging technologies are harnessing wind, waves and tidal currents to help the UK deliver more secure, homegrown energy. In Loch Ness, she witnessed how protecting and restoring our natural land plays an important role in combatting climate change and reducing emissions. AECOM EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre

Here's a statement from Matthieu Hue, our Chief Executive, following the announcement from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the increase in the Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round 6 budget: “It is great to see that the government has taken action by increasing the budget for this year’s renewable energy auction. We must accelerate the deployment of renewables to meet our net zero targets and the Contract for Difference is a key mechanism to enable this. “This is good news not just for the renewables industry but for the entire UK, as it means we will be able to deliver greater amounts of clean energy, lower bills and energy security. “We would have liked to have seen a greater budget increase for floating offshore wind, as we believe it will play a pivotal role in the UK’s ability to reach our climate change targets. “We look forward to continuing to work with UK government to meet 2030 ambitions.” https://lnkd.in/ebCbeHcf #AcceleratingCleanEnergy #OffshoreWind #FLOW
