Hundreds of clean energy projects are not being built despite winning planning permission
, making it harder for the country to ditch more polluting energy forms and meet climate targets, new analysis has warned.
Some developers are told they will have to wait years or decades to join the grid, which connects the power source - like a solar farm - with the end user, which could be a hospital building or a householder turning on the kettle. The power system is gradually being shifted away from fossil fuels towards a variety of cleaner power forms - including things like biomass or reusing heat from sewage works - with the aim of decarbonising the energy network by 2035.
The grid wasn't designed for the number of projects that are now lining up for connection in comparison with the past - an issue facing many countries trying to ditch fossil fuel power for electricity and heat.Trade association Energy UK called the issue a"major concern".
