Enabling the electrification of the UK economy
Enabling the electrification of the UK economy: IET comments to the Environmental Audit Committee on 30 May 2023.
The following represents The IET’s and Future Power Systems Architecture (FPSA) group submission to the Environmental Audit Committee.
Key recommendations
We welcome the opportunity to respond to this consultation however we feel that the questions do not fully address some of the important provisions necessary to achieve decarbonisation of the electricity system by 2035.
We would therefore like to also consider our recommendations together with answers to your questions which include:
- Whole system approach
- Power System Architecture
- New technology
- Planning processes
- Role of interconnectors
- Climate change
- Future governance
- Regional planning - coordination between the FSO and proposed Regional System Planner (RSPs)
- Investment in infrastructure
- Home energy efficiency
- Smart homes
- Built-in adaptation
Thanks for your patience. We’ve upgraded our systems, all part of our big picture plan to deliver a great experience for you.
