This week’s Chart of the Week looks at the Future Energy Scenarios (FES) for 2019, released by National Grid ESO today.
It provides an updated outlook for a range of energy sector variables. Its four scenarios continue to be benchmarked against the 80% emissions reduction target on 1990 levels by 2050, but the publication has introduced a net zero sensitivity to highlight the additional system requirements needed to meet the more ambitious target now enshrined in law.
