RenewableUK has launched the Onshore Wind EnergyPulse Report (September 2025) at Onshore Wind Conference 2025 co-organised with @ScotRenew 📊
The report highlights the resilience and growth of onshore wind, with the UK project pipeline now exceeding 47GW and operational capacity reaching 15.8GW. Forecasts show potential growth to over 33GW by 2033, underlining the vital role of onshore wind in the UK’s net zero transition 📈

New @EnvAgency report on public perceptions of net zero tech:
🔋 Familiar tech (batteries, solar, heat networks) → generally accepted
⚡ Controversial tech (CCS, direct air capture, ocean alkalinity) → viewed with scepticism

We were on tenterhooks! Great to see the funding committed, and look forward to hearing more from the Minister @Miatsf on tackling tricky barriers to implementation - workforce, skills, supply chains, etc.

We welcome the announcement in today’s #SpendingReview that the #Government has committed to fully funding the #WarmHomesPlan. The Warm Homes Plan will not only help homeowners to access #renewable heating technologies, like #HeatPumps and reduce bills.

Welcome news from DESNZ this morning to remove one piece of sticky red tape that has often been cited as a barrier to heat decarbonisation
We’ve made it even easier to have an air source heat pump installed in England.
The rule requiring planning permission if a heat pump is within one metre of a neighbour's property has been removed.
ALT Image from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero featuring a cat resting on a heat pump outside a brick house, with text overlay reading: 'DID YOU KNOW? The one-metre boundary rule for having a heat pump installed has now been removed.'

Renewables can help land Highlands £100bn windfall, says report
Renewables could surpass the peak of the North Sea oil and gas boom says a new report, with about 75% of benefit coming through expansion of renewable energy that could create more than 18,000 jobs by 2040.

✅ More homegrown clean power for the UK
Today we're launching a call for evidence to look at how solar panels on car parks could save money and help motorists.

Climate APPG members @LukeMLabour, @PRASEG Chair @PollyBLabour, @NetZeroAPPG Chair @alexsobel, @PDJSwallow & @Abtisam_Mohamed supported the letter.
Rosebank’s oil will be exported to the global market, instead MPs call for a shift towards cleaner, more secure energy.
