REA announces comprehensive ‘First 100 days’ action plan based on REA strategic pillars: Circular Bioresources; Heat and Cooling; Power and Flexibility; Transport; and cross Pillar objectives.
Action plan will put the energy transition front and centre of the government’s legislative programme.
Next administration will decide whether the UK meets its legally binding net zero carbon emissions targets or falls short.

The REA (Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology) has today launched its vision for the next government’s first 100 days in office. The next administration will decide whether the UK meets its net zero targets, and the REA is calling for clarity, ambition, and action to hit the ground running.

Organised across the REA strategic pillars of Circular Bioresources; Heat and Cooling; Power and Flexibility; Transport; and cross Pillar objectives, the First 100 Days action plan sets out a comprehensive policy platform that provides long-term assurances to the sector, and ensures the UK is once more positioned as a global leader in the energy transition.

Each Strategic Pillar document outlines an overarching objective for the upcoming government, and details a series of steps and policy actions intended for swift implementation and for immediate impact.

Dro Nina Skorupska CBE, CEO of the REA (Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology), said:

“The REA’s First 100 Days action plan is a comprehensive vision that would galvanise the entire sector across multiple technologies. It is no secret the UK’s status as global leader in Net Zero has been called into question. We strongly urge the next government to implement the policy steps outlined in our First 100 Days action plan, if it is serious about putting the energy transition front and centre of the government’s legislative programme, and hitting important milestones such as decarbonising heat, transport energy demand, and the electricity system, and ensuring all biodegradable waste is sustainably recycled.”
