| Work Detail |
The partnership aims to remove regulatory barriers on renewables, especially offshore wind and electricity interconnection. The UK and Germany have forged a new partnership to strengthen renewable energy generation, bringing long-term energy security between both countries. The agreement will provide a blueprint for cooperation on energy and climate while removing regulatory barriers on renewables, especially offshore wind and electricity interconnection in the North Sea. Signed by UK Energy Security Secretary Claire Coutinho and Germany’s Vice- Chancellor, Robert Habeck, the agreement envisions a shared commitment to net zero and energy transition. It aims to strengthen and promote energy security at both a regional and global level, including discussions on winter preparedness, and infrastructure and supply chain security. It also seeks to share best practices on heat decarbonisation, energy efficiency, and net-zero policies and strategies across industrial and buildings scales. The agreement follows the signing of a joint declaration of intent by the two countries in September this year aimed at accelerating development of low-carbon hydrogen production from renewables. |
