Read our thoughts on clean energy here.
💭 For Hinkley Point C to deliver on its environmental claims, the project must install its mandated Acoustic Fish Deterrent (AFD) system, writes Fish Guidance Systems Ltds’ Lewis English. "Since coming to power, the new Labour government has relied heavily on harnessing a broad pool of expertise to address the UK’s complex issues. From James Timpson's insights on prison reform to Patrick Vallance’s leadership as Science Minister, this approach might signify a commitment to solving pressing challenges with informed solutions," writes English. "The recent appointment of Chris Stark as the new 'clean energy Tsar' is one such example. As the widely respected former head of the UK’s Climate Change Committee, Stark is now tasked with leading the UK’s 'mission control centre' for clean energy, aiming to deliver both cleaner and more affordable power by 2030. His mandate underscores the commitment to transitioning to clean power while balancing economic and environmental priorities. "In light of this new appointment, a crucial question must be addressed: Can we truly call energy "clean" if it causes significant environmental harm? This question becomes particularly pertinent when examining the situation at Hinkley Point C, a new generation nuclear power plant under construction in Somerset."

After the public consultation back in January, EDF is now looking at alternative and less desirable saltmarsh locations after public rejection from residents, environmentalists, and a report from the Environment Agency. The answer to the problem continues to be the Acoustic Fish Deterrent. https://lnkd.in/e_K6XSFu

Fish deterrence and guidance systems play a key role in the protection of all salmon species. The migration habits of these anadromous fish put them at risk around man-made structures, as young salmon travel from fresh water to the sea. Physical mesh screens were traditionally used to prevent them from entering intakes at power plants, pumping stations and other facilities, but these can impede the flow of water and become blocked.
