National Grid's proposal to construct a network of 50-metre pylons from Norwich to Tilbury has drawn significant criticism, notably from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who deems it an 'absolute disaster' for Britain's landscapes. He argues against the reliability of the wind energy this infrastructure aims to support. Various MPs, including Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay, echo these concerns about environmental impact. National Grid defends the plan as the only financially viable means to transport renewable energy by 2030, while the Department for Energy Security stresses the importance of infrastructural improvements to secure Britain's clean energy future.
The Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has launched a scathing critique of Labour's plans for a 114-mile pylon network, dubbing it an 'absolute disaster' for English landscapes.
Adrian Ramsay, co-leader of the Green Party, voiced strong opposition to having 50-metre pylons built across East Anglia's countryside.
National Grid's Tom McGarry emphasized the urgency of delivering energy infrastructure, stating that alternatives like offshore delivery were not feasible to meet the 2030 deadline.
A spokesperson for DESNZ highlighted the critical need for improved infrastructure to harness renewable electricity, asserting that without it, clean power delivery to the public wouldn't be feasible.
