The revised NPS for energy should be a clear and unambiguous statement of the key principles underpinning the planning framework, thereby allowing a clear statement of intent while also allowing sufficient flexibility to take into account new and emerging technologies. We recommend that the NPS for energy should, however, be closely linked to policy proposals and technology specific roadmaps, which set specific targets for specific sectors - thereby incentivising the development of those new and emerging technologies required to achieve net zero by 2050.
