2030 carbon target

UK industry leaders believe that ministers should set a specific target for restricting carbon emissions from power generation. More than 50 businesses, including so well-known names such as Asda, Sky, PepsiCo, Microsoft, Marks and Spencer, have signed the letter to Chancellor George Osborne, in which they encourage the government to set a 2030 target on decarbonising the power sector in the UK. Moreover industry leaders have also warned Chancellor George Osborne that mixed signals on green energy policy might weaken investment in renewable energy in the UK.
