🌊BHA says Government must do more to unlock hydropower potential 🌊 Following yesterdays announcement from the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, to increase the budget for this year’s renewable energy auction by £500 million, taking it to over £1.5 billion, the BHA is calling for a new look at then Auction scheme itself to allow for more small scale Hydropower generation to help support local communities. Find out more on what out CEO Kate Gilmartin had to say in a recent article in UK Business News below.

🌊UK Government must invest in Hydropower, industry tells Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero🌊 The BHA and Scottish Renewables have today written a joint letter to Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ian Murray, Secretary of State for Scotland, and Jo Stevens, Secretary of State for Wales, urging the government to support the deployment of Pumped Storage Hydropower and other Long Duration Energy Storage. In the letter, which is co-signed by all major developers of PSH in the UK, the trade bodies call on the UK Government to urgently introduce a ‘cap and floor mechanism’ for LDES to enable the delivery of the PSH pipeline which currently stands at more than 9GW of capacity, including several shovel ready projects. Our CEO, Kate Gilmartin, said: “With economic growth and renewable energy at the centre of the new government's agenda, there is an opportunity to demonstrate a step-change in decision-making after years of delay and uncertainty. "By prioritising the urgent delivery of a cap and floor mechanism, we can send positive signals to international investors and trigger large-scale capital projects and job creation."
