In this episode, Sam Hollister speaks to Ana Musat, Executive Director for Policy and Engagement at RenewableUK, about the role renewables can play in delivering a more affordable, secure and low-carbon UK power system. 

We discuss:

• What Allocation Round 8 (AR8) could mean for the UK's clean power ambitions, investment and renewable energy pipeline
• How renewable energy is contributing to jobs, supply chains and economic growth across the UK
• The policy and market challenges facing the sector, from transmission charging and investment uncertainty to the wider debate around affordability and energy security

What’s one thing you would like listeners to take away from this?

• The renewables debate needs to look beyond generation capacity and costs to the wider value the sector can create for consumers, communities and the UK economy.
