However, in a move that sparked outrage among environmental campaigners, the government also said its strategy would be"supporting the production of domestic oil and gas in the nearer term," with a licensing round for new oil and gas projects in the North Sea slated for launch this fall. The government claimed its strategy could result in 95% of Great Britain's electricity being"low carbon" by 2030.
"Scaling up cheap renewables and new nuclear, while maximising North Sea production, is the best and only way to ensure our energy independence over the coming years."
