Abstract
The UK faces one of its greatest ever engineering challenges as it seeks to combat climate change while keeping the lights on. If it is to succeed, the pace of delivery will be crucial. developers looking to connect renewable energy projects to the electricity grid are facing delays of more than 15 years, threatening the UK's net-zero ambitions, E&T has heard. As the country's target to decarbonise the electricity grid by 2035 looms ever closer, developers, engineering firms and consultancies have spoken to E&T about the connection delays that they say are putting both the climate targets and energy security at risk. In the last 18 months, the time it takes for developers to connect renewable energy projects to the national grid has soared, and Peter Aston, a specialist connections engineer at the consultancy Roadnight Taylor, says the waiting times are now a major problem.
