Siemens has said that it is putting new wind power investment plans in the UK on hold due to uncertainty caused by the UK’s vote to leave the EU.
The amount of electricity generated using solar panels is likely to expand as much as six-fold by 2030 as the cost of production falls below competing natural gas and coal-fired power plants, according to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
ENGIE has confirmed that the 1 GW coal fired power plant in Rugeley, Staffordshire, will close within weeks due to worsening conditions for coal operators.
