- In July 2024, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) set out its top five priorities, including clean power by 2030, setting up Great British Energy (GBE), creating jobs including in the North Sea and leading on climate action (domestically and internationally).
- DESNZ released the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan in December 2024, outlining the steps the government will take to meet its target of achieving 95% of the UK’s electricity from clean energy sources by 2030.
- In June 2025, the UK government published its new infrastructure and industrial strategies. As part of the Industrial Strategy, the government also published the Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan. These documents include new investments and timelines related to renewable energies, in line with the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan.

- Timing: this is a continuing area of development, so there is no specific timeframe for changes.
