The UK’s targets to decarbonise the energy grid by 2030 is unrealistic, RWE senior executive Adam Ezzamel said, cited by the Telegraph.

  • “The biggest problem I have with it is the date attached to it. I think it is just not feasible, certainly in the offshore space,” Ezzamel said.
  • “I would say it’s great to have a plan. It’s great to be ambitious, but I think we need to be a bit more grounded in realism, in terms of the delivery date”, he added.
  • One of the issues Ezzamel cited was the supply chain capacity, while a rushed goal could cause spiking prices, amongst other issues.
  • His remarks followed comments from the Energy Industry Councial and the GMB Union, calling the plans unachievable.
  • Earlier this month, the IEA chief called the UK’s plans ambitious but doable.
