The UK Government has unveiled plans to accelerate planning approvals for two major energy projects. The Sizewell C nuclear power station and the Lighthouse Green Fuels plant will have a single point of contact with the Environment Agency, simplifying the regulatory process. The Sizewell C project could supply six million homes with nuclear energy, reducing reliance on foreign fossil fuels. The Lighthouse Green Fuels plant will produce sustainable aviation fuel from waste materials. The Government aims to remove fossil fuels from the UK's electricity generation by 2030. The new approach is part of efforts to overhaul the planning system and speed up energy and infrastructure projects.
