Supporter of more electricity pylons to head net zero watchdog

An energy boss who has backed the need for more electricity pylons is to become the chief executive of the Government’s net zero watchdog. Emma Pinchbeck, of the trade body Energy UK, will take over as chief executive of the climate change committee next month. The energy chief has argued that massive amounts of new infrastructure will be needed to transport renewable power across the country to meet the Government’s net zero targets. It comes after the Energy Secretary recently vowed to “take on the blockers” who oppose the Government’s clean energy proposals, claiming that defeating Nimbys on net zero was a matter of “national security”.
