The UK’s Net Zero targets have long been a cornerstone of climate policy. Yet, more recently, political debates and business reports suggest that achieving these goes may be more complicated than initially anticipated. A recent report from Centrica Business Solutions has found that nearly a third of UK businesses won’t be able to meet their 2030 emissions targets, budget restraints, aging infrastructure and technology gaps are being seen as the biggest obstacles.
At the same time, political figures like Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch have called for scrapping Net Zero legislation that has been in place since 2008, arguing it is “bankrupting our economy” and driving up energy costs. Critics of the Conservatives are warning that abandoning Net Zero policies could be risking thousands of green energy jobs and billions invested in renewable energy projects.
Businesses Are Still Taking Action
Despite the challenges businesses are facing, the drive for practical energy solutions continue. 81% of businesses plan to install on-site energy generation technologies, including solar panels and batteries, to reduce costs and gain energy independence.
This reveals a crucial point: even if national Net Zero targets face political or economic uncertainty, businesses and homeowners are still motivated to take control of their power. Solar energy is now one of the most affordable and cost effective ways to achieve this. With the cost of solar panels decreasing by over 80% in the last decade and energy bills still continuing to rise, now is the time to invest in solar.
