RenewableUK has launched the Onshore Wind EnergyPulse Report (September 2025) at Onshore Wind Conference 2025 co-organised with @ScotRenew 📊

The report highlights the resilience and growth of onshore wind, with the UK project pipeline now exceeding 47GW and operational capacity reaching 15.8GW. Forecasts show potential growth to over 33GW by 2033, underlining the vital role of onshore wind in the UK’s net zero transition 📈

“We must show families up and down the country that the transition to renewables is as much about their pockets as it is about the planet” says ESNZ Select Committee member Melanie Onn MP @melanie_onn https://t.co/ISFFjvdMIi

New @EnvAgency report on public perceptions of net zero tech:
🔋 Familiar tech (batteries, solar, heat networks) → generally accepted
⚡ Controversial tech (CCS, direct air capture, ocean alkalinity) → viewed with scepticism
🤝 Trust & fairness make transitions succeed. LINK: https://t.co/p7BDprOJDq

@PRASEG's excellent Chair, @PollyBLabour leads a swift rebuttal from 59 MPs to powerfully remind one net zero naysayer of the vast strength green energy 🔋⚡️investment brings to our economy & energy security👌

Really good to engage with so many MPs and at the @PRASEG reception sponsored by @_MCS_Foundation @EON_SE_en with @PollyBLabour @GideonJAmos @Bill_Esterson @MartinCallanan discussing how to lower electricity prices @Miatsf @energygovuk @Ed_Miliband

[E.ON Energy UK @eonenergyuk]

This week, we hosted a roundtable alongside the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE) & @PRASEG to discuss the future of #HeatNetworks in the UK.

We were on tenterhooks! Great to see the funding committed, and look forward to hearing more from the Minister @Miatsf on tackling tricky barriers to implementation - workforce, skills, supply chains, etc.

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

Fantastic to see @RachelReevesMP announce record investment to upgrade millions of homes across the country to make them warmer and cheaper to run. A big boost to our Warm Homes Plan 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

We welcome the announcement in today’s #SpendingReview that the #Government has committed to fully funding the #WarmHomesPlan. The Warm Homes Plan will not only help homeowners to access #renewable heating technologies, like #HeatPumps and reduce bills.

[APPG for Renewable & Sustainable Energy @PRASEG]

Welcome news from DESNZ this morning to remove one piece of sticky red tape that has often been cited as a barrier to heat decarbonisation

[Department for Energy Security and Net Zero @energygovuk]

We’ve made it even easier to have an air source heat pump installed in England.

The rule requiring planning permission if a heat pump is within one metre of a neighbour's property has been removed.

Renewables can help land Highlands £100bn windfall, says report

Renewables could surpass the peak of the North Sea oil and gas boom says a new report, with about 75% of benefit coming through expansion of renewable energy that could create more than 18,000 jobs by 2040.

✅ More charging points and shaded spots for motorists
✅ More energy bill savings for businesses and retailers
✅ More homegrown clean power for the UK

Today we're launching a call for evidence to look at how solar panels on car parks could save money and help motorists.
