Budget 2024: Key climate and energy announcements

On 30 October, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiled the 2024 Budget, the first budget in 14 years to be delivered by a Labour government. In the Commons speech Reeves said that the country voted for “change” on 4 July at the general election and that Labour has a mandate for a decade of “national renewal”. To rebuild the economy, now is the time to “invest, invest, invest”, Reeves said.

Key measures announced included:

The government also confirmed it will publish a Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, respond to the Climate Change Committee’s Progress Report, publish an updated Carbon Budget Delivery Plan, and capitalise on UK clean energy strengths through the new Industrial Strategy.
