NESO publishes Future Energy Scenarios 2025 report
The National Energy System Operator (NESO) has published its Future Energy Scenarios (FES) 2025 report, outlining three potential pathways for achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Each scenario varies in its reliance on electrification, hydrogen, bioenergy, and consumer engagement. The report highlights key actions to support a secure and cost-effective transition to net zero, including: (1) the rapid development of infrastructure for electricity, gas, hydrogen, and carbon capture; (2) greater uptake of energy efficiency measures, innovative tariffs, and demand side flexibility to reduce costs for consumers; and (3) incentives for industry to adopt low-carbon fuels and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies.
