Under the plan, 95% of electricity by 2030 could be low-carbon, the government said. This would represent up to around 25% of projected electricity demand—three times more than now. Currently, low-carbon nuclear supplies 15% of power as a steady source of generation to complement intermittent renewables.

Electricity sourced from sun and wind is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis. The hydrogen is stored and can be converted by fuel cells in vehicles back into electricity that powers them. We additionally want to supply electricity, gas and heat to industry.
