Description
- How viable still is Clean Power 2030, and how important is the public’s role in helping networks achieve this?
- What can be done to unite communities in embracing and participating in decarbonisation projects such as unlooping, heat pumps, wind farms and net-zero terraces thus preventing delays to meeting clean power ambitions?
- Rising bills are the biggest source of concern. Can clean flexibility plans address this, whilst still ensuring there is enough funding for network innovation?
- Who should take the lead on external stakeholder communications strategies targeting public scepticism to decarbonisation?
