Commenting on the publication, David Smith, Chief Executive of Energy Networks Association, which represents the UK and Ireland’s energy networks businesses, said:
“Latest government figures show why the UK’s networks are the unsung heroes in the race to cut carbon emissions. They have helped to connect record levels of renewable electricity and have continued to keep the country’s energy flowing throughout the coronavirus pandemic. As more renewable generation is connected they will continue to deliver the smarter, lower carbon and increasingly efficient energy system the public needs.”
