DTI publishes Energy Review Conclusions
The UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI ) has today published a report setting out the conclusions of the Energy Review. The Energy Review has focused on how the UK can meet its two main energy policy challenges in the future, i.e. to reduce UK carbon emissions and to ensure security of supply in the face of declining production of oil and gas from the UK Continental Shelf. A number of high level strategies are identified, including incentives to encourage increased energy efficiency, further support for renewables through an expansion of the Renewables Obligation and the possible construction of a new generation of nuclear stations. The last of these measures is likely to prove controversial as there is considerable debate over whether new nuclear generation is economic when all decommissioning and waste treatment costs are included.
