However, since then, the state has redefined its energy policy, including a revival of nuclearpower, the acceleration of renewables and reindustrialisation through the development of low-carbon industrial zones. The last network development plan was published in 2019. Have you read? But is it enough?
Renewables are a bedrock climate solution, they’re the cheapest form of power today and will keep getting cheaper over time , and we know how to reliably manage an electric grid with a high share of renewable energy. Nuclear plants can provide around-the-clock zero-carbon power, meaning they’re an important part of a clean grid.
Most inertia comes from big fossil fuel, nuclear and hydro generation. What’s left is harder to measure because much of it is coming from demand, smaller generators and ‘below the surface’ grid behaviour. With the shift to renewables, grid inertia is reducing.

After all, if PG&E keeps raising rates for electricity that can’t be relied on during emergencies, customers may demand options to defect from its service — a real-life version of the “ utility death spiral ” threat supposedly posed by rooftop solar and behind-the-meter batteries that has yet to emerge in the real world.
After all, the Net Zero Review - or Mission Zero, as it is officially titled - does not demand a revolutionary overhaul of government policy backed by a blank cheque from the Treasury to spur on decarbonisation efforts. Government should also set out options for further legislative steps by 2024 to decarbonise maritime sector.
All the briefing suggests there will be two big winners in the new plan: offshore wind and nuclearpower. The Sunday Telegraph reported yesterday that the UK could get up to seven new nuclearpower plants through the new Strategy, after Kwarteng told the paper "there is a world where we have six or seven sites in the UK".
The move, which follows similar proposals from the EU, is a first for the US and would deliver a huge boost to electric vehicle (EV) demand in America's largest auto market. The plan would represent a major policy reversal a decade after the Fukushima disaster triggered a move to phase down the country's reliance on nuclearpower.
