Article summary

The Mayor of London has issued new Transport for London (TfL) renewable energy requirements, which seek to ‘move towards a greater use of renewable energy as a key measure in helping tackle the climate emergency’. The Mayor of London endeavours to ensure that ‘that all electricity requirements for the Underground are met via zero carbon sources by 2030’. By developing purchase power from renewable generators through Power Purchase Agreements, it is hoped that TfL would be able to ensure that the rail network is supplied by green energy sources, including wind and solar power.
