I welcome today's announcement on grid connection reforms which will speed up essential renewables and clean tech deployment. This will help supercharge the net zero transition and connect more low carbon, secure and affordable power to the system, Connection blockages are a major barrier to the clean energy transition and solving this will help end our reliance on volatile fossil fuels imports which have driven price rises in recent years.
In a landmark step towards a clean power energy future for Great Britain, Ofgem has approved our reforms to streamline the connections process. This will enable us to prioritise the connection of projects ready to deliver clean power to our homes, businesses, transport and more and unlock a £40 billion annual investment opportunity to drive economic growth. Our reform proposals are a product of extensive collaboration with industry stakeholders, Ofgem, and Government and highlights a collective commitment across the energy industry to evolve the connections process to deliver clean, secure, and affordable energy to homes, businesses, and communities across Great Britain.
