So we have also committed to set a 2030 power
sector decarbonisation target; hold to the system of contract for difference in the energy bill; create an Energy Security Board with responsibility for identifying our energy needs and providing a clear framework to deliver this; and give the Green Investment Bank borrowing powers to support investment.»

decarbonisation target for the UK's electricity generating
sector, to be achieved by 2030.
