Clean Power 2030
As the Electricity System Operator (ESO) for Great Britain, transitioning into the National Energy System Operator (NESO), part of our role is to provide impartial advice to HM Government and the regulator on what is required to securely accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
On 9th July, the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero commissioned the ESO to provide advice on how clean power can be delivered by 2030.
Please see the formal commission letter issued on 23rd August here on UK Government’s website below.
Achieving clean power by 2030 whilst keeping the system secure and affordable for consumers would be a world-leading achievement. We welcome the ambition set by HM Government and look forward to contributing by undertaking this critical analysis at pace.

The ESO has established a cross-cutting delivery programme to deliver this and provide our independent advice.
Further information on the programme will be updated on this page, in the meantime if you’d like to get in touch, please email us.
