  1. 22 June 2023

     We have updated the Charts and Tables document with 2 corrections: On Figure 1.3: Levelised Cost of Energy, historical forecasts from DESNZ against outturn data, we have corrected the figures, some of which were using the wrong base year. We have also updated the BloombergNEF outturn data after they updated their LCOE data. On CBDP Table 6, policy #62, the Flaring and Venting Abatement, we have corrected the timescale from which the policy takes effect (2030, not 2031).

  2. 5 April 2023

     We have updated the Charts and Tables document with a new table: Carbon Budget Delivery Plan Table 6: Quantified Policies and Proposals.
