Find out We’re building new power stations that will help meet Britain’s future electricity demand and investing in low carbon technologies to accelerate the UK's shift to a Net Zero future Helping meet Britain’s future electricity demand for the next 60 years As we phase out fossil fuels, we’ll need more power from clean sources like nuclear, so right now, we’re building new power stations – good news for the jobs market and the race to Net Zero. Building new nuclear Together we can live, work and grow sustainably and responsibly We can help our customers, our colleagues and our communities live and work more sustainably. Every day. Because together we can reduce the UK’s carbon emissions to nothing. Read our sustainability roadmap A £50 billion low carbon programme to help Britain achieve Net Zero With the right policies in place, we plan to enable investment in low carbon technologies in the UK worth over £50bn by 2035. This amounts to 12GW of wind, solar and nuclear power – meeting one fifth of UK demand. Our plan for a green recovery Notes UK Fuel Mix disclosure information, published by Government Department BEIS, recognises electricity from wind, solar and nuclear fuel produces zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation. The zero-carbon electricity purchased is supplied to the National Grid. Customers receive electricity via the National Grid, not directly from zero-carbon generators. The below table summarises zero-carbon generation by company demonstrating EDF generating 32.4%. The data supporting the table below and the % values is sourced from a mixture of industry settlement data and the UK government renewable obligation database.
