13 December, Miliband said:<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cA new era of clean electricity for our country offers a positive vision of Britain\u2019s future with energy security, lower bills, good jobs and climate action. This can only happen with big, bold change and that is why the government is embarking on the most ambitious reforms to our energy system in generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe era of clean electricity is about harnessing the power of Britain\u2019s natural resources so we can protect working people from the ravages of global energy markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe clean power sprint is the national security, economic security, and social justice fight of our time \u2013 and this plan gives us the tools we need to win this fight for the British people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The housing sector warned of potential delays as a result of poor connectivity to the grid<\/h3>\n<p>Ian Fletcher, director of policy, British Property Federation, comments, \u201cThis is yet another step in the right direction by the Government to think more strategically about making sure infrastructure supports development. Moving away from \u2018first come first serve\u2019 connection in the queue to connect to the grid is positive (for example, electricity generation projects such as solar PV on warehouse roofs), as is the proposal to better resource statutory consultees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, Government must ensure that in undertaking reform, new housing and other developments are not held up unnecessarily \u2013 we have heard of housing not being built because the wait for grid connections is so long. This undermines the Government\u2019s own 1.5m homes target and acts as a drag anchor on UK growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Money would be better spent entirely on renewables, says policy lead at Greenpeace<\/h3>\n<p>Doug Parr, the policy director at Greenpeace UK, said to the Guardian: \u201cThe winds of change are finally blowing in the right direction. But this roadmap must treble the amount of power generated by offshore wind and solar and double onshore wind, at least, if it\u2019s to deliver the kind of ambition needed to turbocharge our way to a renewably powered future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cAny money earmarked for carbon capture and storage \u2013 which is expensive, impossible to make zero carbon and fails to detach electricity prices from the volatile international gas market \u2013 would be better spent on the renewables, grid and storage infrastructure that will actually deliver clean power.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
