Repowering UK onshore wind farms as they reach the end of their scheduled operating lives would be a cost-effective way to increase generation of cheap, low-carbon electricity, says a report from the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).
A leading group of MPs has criticised the Whitehall department responsible for the sale of the Green Investment Bank (GIB), and warned its original ambitions have not been properly protected.
In a report out today, the public accounts committee said the sale of the GIB took far longer than originally planned and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) made a number of compromises in order to complete the sale.
