This July 2020 report comes from Britain’s National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO). The analysis explores the assumptions and conclusions from the extensive modelling, research, and stakeholder engagement undertaken by the National Grid ESO on how energy system must evolve while safely and reliably delivering low carbon energy to end consumers to meet the net zero goal by 2050. Taking into consumer and energy system perspectives, the key requirements include availability of open accessible data, consumer incentives, use of hydrogen and carbon capture and storage, immediate action across all key technologies and policies, and full engagement across society and end-consumers.
