The UK's Clean Power Future, with Chris Stark CBE and Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett

What has the Clean Power Mission achieved so far? And how can the UK make sure clean power translates into lower bills, greater energy security and a more electrified economy? This week we are joined by Chris Stark, Head of the UK’s Clean Power Mission and former CEO of the Climate Change Committee, to discuss the UK’s plan to build a clean power system by 2030. He joins our host Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, former senior government advisor and current Policy Fellow at the University of Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy. The two discuss what it is like working at the centre of government on one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure challenges, why the next phase of the mission is about demand as well as supply, and what it would take for Britain to become an “electrostate”. They also cover electricity prices, the industrial opportunities from clean power, and how the UK’s energy transition fits into the wider global picture.
