Ministers reveal plan to nearly double onshore wind across England by 2030
The Government has unveiled its plan to almost double onshore wind across England by 2030. Ministers want to expand the country's onshore wind capacity from 14.8GW to 27-29GW by the end of the decade. It comes as part of wider Government ambitions to transition towards a clean power system by 2030, with the hope of boosting economic growth, creating jobs, reducing bills, decarbonising the grid and strengthening energy security. Last year, Labour axed the de facto ban on building onshore wind farms introduced by the Conservatives under David Cameron. The Government's move put onshore wind on an equal planning footing to offshore wind and nuclear, paving the way for projects to be rolled out faster in the coming years. The Conservatives criticised the strategy, accusing Energy Secretary Ed Miliband of making the country's energy 'unreliable and expensive' through his 'obsession with climate targets'. As part of the plan, the Government set out 40 actions for ministers and industry to take to hit the 2030 onshore wind ambitions. These include planning reforms, building supply chains and skilled workforces, resolving issues over how onshore turbines and aerospace infrastructure can co-exist, repowering old turbines, and exploring plans to expand the clean industry bonus for onshore wind. The Government claimed the strategy will support the creation of up to 45,000 skilled jobs by the end of the decade. In the foreword, Mr Miliband said: 'As one of the cheapest and fastest-to-build sources of power we have, onshore wind will play a critical role in boosting our energy independence with clean power by 2030. 'The reality is that every turbine we build helps protect families, businesses and the public finances from future fossil fuel shocks.' 'The reality is that every turbine we build helps protect families, businesses and the public finances from future fossil fuel shocks.' Matthieu Hue, co-chairman of the Onshore Wind Taskforce and chief executive of EDF Power Solutions UK and Ireland, said: 'This strategy is focusing on overcoming barriers and challenges we face across the industry in the deployment of onshore wind while capturing the major socio-economic benefits it can bring to the environment and to local economies. 'This is a critical part of making Britain a clean energy superpower and delivering energy security.' The Government said communities that host wind farms will benefit from money for community initiatives, such as new football pitches or libraries, or even bill discount schemes. A typical 25MW wind farm paying the industry standard of £5,000 per MW of installed capacity per year could deliver £3.75 million of funding to be redistributed among the community on local initiatives of their choosing over a 30-year operating life, according to the strategy document. In a statement, shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho said: '(The Energy Secretary) is shutting down the North Sea, concreting our gas wells and he's downgraded our plans for nuclear. 'All this means is that families' energy bills are going to go through the roof, and we'll just end up importing more from coal-powered China. 'The US security services have already warned us that Chinese wind turbines could pose serious risks to our national security, but he won't do a China audit. Ed wants to hit Net Zero targets no matter the cost to the British public.' Elsewhere, the Government recently completed a process to de-risk offshore wind developments, led by the Marine Spatial Prioritisation Programme. It said this will inform the Crown Estate's marine delivery route map on strategic use of the seabed so that more offshore wind farms can be built in a way that considers all marine sectors, including fisheries, and protects the environment. James Robottom, RenewableUK's head of onshore wind delivery, said: 'Overturning the unpopular onshore wind ban, which deprived us of one of the quickest and cheapest technologies to build for a decade, was just the start. 'The hard work to make the most of this great opportunity to grow our economy and strengthen the UK's energy security is now in full swing.' Sue Ferns, senior deputy general secretary of trade union Prospect, said: 'The lost years resulting from the last government's inexplicable ban have resulted in significant workforce and skills-related challenges that urgently need to be addressed, which hopefully they will be in the forthcoming clean energy workforce plan.'

Britain launches strategy to expand onshore wind, create jobs
LONDON, July 4 (Reuters) - Britain is launching its first ever onshore wind strategy, designed to boost renewable power capacity and increase jobs in the sector, the government said on Friday. Britain is aiming to largely decarbonise its electricity sector by 2030 as part of efforts to meet its climate goals, boost energy security and reduce power costs by curbing its reliance on expensive fossil fuels. 'Rolling out more onshore wind is a no-brainer – it's one of our cheapest technologies, quick to build, supports thousands of skilled jobs and can provide clean energy directly to the communities hosting it,' Energy Minister Michael Shanks said in a statement from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The government said the move could help create around 45,000 jobs. Under the strategy it is launching 40 actions to help boost onshore wind projects such as offering funding for things like football pitches or libraries in communities hosting the projects, working to repower existing wind turbines coming to the end of their lifespans and improving the planning process for new projects. 'The measures outlined will increase confidence among investors and developers, so that we can attract billions in private investment and create thousands of highly-skilled jobs and new supply chains all over the country,' James Robottom, Head of Onshore Wind Delivery at industry group RenewableUK said in the government statement. Britain currently has around 16 gigawatts (GW) of onshore wind power but is targeting 27-29 GW by 2030.

Little-known car brand reveals new motor ‘to rival iconic Land Rover model'… and it's coming to UK in months
A LITTLE known car brand has revealed a new motor that will rival an iconic Land Rover model and it's coming to the UK in just months. The premium hybrid off-roader will be part of the manufacturers new line-up as it prepares to break into UK markets. 4 4 In a direct challenge to the Land Rover Defender, Denza are bringing their new BYD Denza B5 to the UK. With competitive off-road stats and levels of power only seen in supercars, the B5 is a premium plug-in hybrid 4x4. It was launched in China last year as the Bao 5 and is one of three new models from BYD's SUV sub-brand Fangchengbao. But it's likely to be named Denza in the UK and positioned as a sibling to the Z9 GT which will also be hitting UK markets next year. Denza is a joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz and was founded in 2010 but it's wholly owned by the Chinese company. The motor will make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next week ahead of the 4x4 hitting the market in early 2026. The company's president, Stella Li, told Autocar last year that she predicted the SUVs"will be very popular in the UK". She said: 'In the UK, the roads are narrow but we love these big SUV off-road cars, so Fangchengbao will be here." BYD has so far been absent in the large premium SUVs sector which is highly popular. No specification details have been released for the new B5, but is expected to largely resemble the car in China. It uses a "DMO Super Hybrid Off-Road" ladder-frame platform and its power comes from a plug-in hybrid system centre around a 1.5 litre turbo engine with an electric motor on each axle. It can reach 677bhp, more than any Defender, including the V8 Octa. It's considerable battery can supposedly reach a range of up to 78 miles but that's likely to be around 50 miles in practice. The B5 is part of BYD's effort to increase its hybrid car offering against a backdrop of wavering EV uptake in Europe. Eight new laws hitting drivers from July 1 including 'touch' rule where you can face jail over where you place hands The core BYD line-up is also set to see a new arrival next year with the Seal 06, a plug-in hybrid in the mould of the BMW 3 Series. The B5 announcement comes as The Sun reported in April that Denza was readying its stylish Denza Z9 GT. It will launch in Europe this year, with a UK launch expected for 2026. The luxury estate, which is looking to break into the same market occupied by the Porsche Panamera and Porsche Taycan, was designed by former Audi and Alfa Romeo designer Wolfgang Egger. The Sun also reported in March that BYD is readying a low-cost, pint-sized hatchback called the Dolphin Surf which is to be launched in the UK later this year. BYD is hoping to compete with the likes of Dacia and Fiat with the new release - which will be one of the cheapest available to buy from new. The upcoming release comes as BYD looks to establish itself as a major player in the global car market - with the lofty goal of becoming the world's largest car maker. The UK is seen as a key market for its success, with BYD's brand awareness increasing from 1% at the start of 2024 to 31% by the end of the year. 4 4
