RENEWABLE ENERGY ZONES

5 Renewable energy zones can be characterised in two broad ways. In this paper we describe these as type A renewable energy zones and type B renewable energy zones. 6 Type A is a cluster of generators sharing connection assets only, which are those assets used by generators to connect to the transmission network. Type A renewable energy zones can

Renewable energy zone (REZ) roadmap

Renewable energy zones help us reach the targets set out in the Energy (Renewable Transformation and Jobs) Act 2024. By law, we must generate: 50% renewable energy by 2030; 70% renewable energy by 2032; 80% renewable energy by 2035. We''ll update the roadmap every 2 years, based on the community feedback we receive about a potential REZ.
