Dr Samantha Harrison-Curran, GIS Team Lead in the Digital Strategy and Innovation Team at ITPEnergised, part of SLR, looks at the recent Labour government victory and what this might mean for the planning landscape of renewable projects and the future of renewable energy.

She has geospatially layered electoral data with renewable project planning permission status. The potential shift in planning permission landscape given the new Labour government may be helpfully visualised using her web app, an interactive and redacted copy of which may be found here.

Please contact Sam at samantha.harrison-curran@itpenergised.com for more details of the underlying datasets, and our geospatial renewable energy services generally, and how we can help you visualise and accelerate your own Net Zero journeys.
