The UK Government has announced today that it has formed an Onshore Wind Industry Taskforce, made up of a team of industry, national and devolved governments, businesses, and communities. This taskforce includes our very own Lisa Christie, Vattenfall’s Director of Public and Regulatory Affairs UK.

Welcoming the announcement Lisa Christie, Vattenfall’s Director of Public and Regulatory Affairs UK said:
“I’m delighted to join the Onshore Wind Industry Taskforce, which will be the driving force to help the government achieve its ambition of doubling onshore wind capacity across the UK by 2030.
“Onshore wind is one of the lowest cost options for improving our energy security, stabilising energy bills, bringing vital investment to the supply chain and local communities, and tackling the climate emergency.”
The taskforce has been set up to identify current barriers and practical solutions to deploying this vital technology, such as improvements to resourcing in the planning system, reducing waits for grid connections, and developing opportunities for supply chain companies.
