The signatories to a new policy paper consist of representatives from BT Group, British Land, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, EnergyTag, Good Energy, Google, Pearson, Unilever, Unite Students, Vodafone UK and Virgin Media O2.<\/p>\n<p>REGOs are a type of certificate aiming to clarify what percentage of a generator\u2019s Fuel Mix Disclosure comes from renewable sources. These are issues per MWh of eligible output of renewable electricity. It aims to provide transparency to consumers on these issues. The businesses are calling for reforms to the scheme to unlock more investment in renewables in the UK while increasing energy security and bringing down costs. They are specifically calling for actions and policy interventions that deliver greater transparency in pricing, more accurate electricity matching, and a boost in renewable capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent volatility in the REGO market underscores the urgent need for reform to ensure greater transparency and certainty for businesses who want to accelerate the transition to net zero.\u201d BT Group\u2019s sustainability director Rich Marsh said. \u201cWe recognise the role that businesses must play in this process, and we urge the Government to work with industry to create a more predictable and effective system that supports long-term investments in renewable energy and decarbonises the UK grid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the Energy UK Annual Conference 2024 in Westminster the week (17 September), Energy Secretary Ed Miliband committed to removing blockers to green energy transition in the UK. The announcement arrived in the same week that UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced the launch of a new Global Clean Power Alliance, aimed at speeding up the global shift to renewable energy. This initiative forms part of the new Labour-led UK Government\u2019s push to become a clean energy leader by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The Global Clean Power Alliance will focus on boosting investment in clean energy, expanding energy grids and securing access to critical minerals. The goal is to support countries that are falling behind in the transition to renewable energy by sharing technology and financial resources.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/businesses-call-on-uk-government-to-unlock-access-to-renewable-energy\/\">edie.net<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/businesses-call-on-uk-government-to-unlock-access-to-renewable-energy\/\">Businesses call on UK Government to unlock access to renewable energy<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16148,555,834,16149],"class_list":["post-133812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-businesses","tag-csr-news-en","tag-renewable-energy","tag-uk-government"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133812\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
