英国财政大臣约翰·希利宣布，如果新的海上风电项目无法降低消费者账单，他将否决这些项目 1。只有在相信所有发电量都能被英国电网容纳且不会推高消费者成本时，新项目才会获得批准 1。希利称这不是退出清洁能源，而是通往清洁能源的可靠路径 1。
这一决定被视为政府偏离激进的可再生能源议程，旨在确保电网能容纳产生的电力且不增加成本 1。此前预算中已包含对能源部门的大幅削减，部分资金将转用于国防开支 1。国家审计办公室警告，到2030年，处理因电网容量不足导致的弃风问题可能使家庭和企业每年面临78亿英镑的潜在账单 1。
能源部门预算削减超过30亿英镑，其中7.41亿英镑来自锅炉升级计划（热泵补贴） 1。目前热泵安装量约为每年6万个，政府原目标是到2030年提高到每年25万个 1。这引发了业界对英国2030年清洁能源目标及热泵补贴计划的担忧 1。
UK Chancellor John Healey has announced that he will veto new offshore wind projects if they do not lower consumer bills. 1 Under this policy, new developments will only be approved if officials are confident that all generated electricity can be accommodated by the UK grid without increasing costs for households and businesses. 1 Healey stated that this approach is not a withdrawal from clean energy goals, but rather a reliable path toward achieving them. 1
This decision represents a shift away from the government’s previously aggressive renewable energy agenda. 1 The move follows significant cuts to the energy sector budget exceeding £3 billion, with £741 million removed from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which subsidizes heat pumps. 1 Industry concerns have arisen regarding Britain’s 2030 clean energy targets, particularly as current heat pump installations stand at approximately 60,000 per year against a government goal of raising this figure to 250,000 annually by 2030. 1 Additionally, some funds from these energy budget reductions are being redirected to defense spending. 1 The National Audit Office had previously warned that potential bills could reach £7.8 billion annually by 2030 due to curtailment issues caused by insufficient grid capacity. 1
