Net Zero Planning for 2026: What Commercial and Public Sector Organisations Need to Know
As we move further into 2026, the net zero landscape for UK businesses is entering a critical phase. With regulatory requirements tightening, reporting obligations expanding, and the government’s clean energy ambitions accelerating, organisations that fail to plan now risk falling behind, both in compliance and competitive positioning.

Roadmap for Business Leaders: How to Lead the Net Zero Revolution
The race to net zero is no longer a distant aspiration or something that only affects large global organisations. It’s an essential transformation that will shape the future of your business.

Here’s a practical six stage roadmap to get started.

More solar farms on the way after record renewables auction
More solar farms are on the way around the UK, in a move that boosts the country’s clean power goals but could spark anger from local opponents.
The government awarded contracts to a record supply of renewables projects, including 157 solar developments across England, Scotland and Wales.
The results have been welcomed by climate and clean energy groups, who see solar as a relatively cheap way to reduce the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels during the summer months.
Chris Stark: The economics of clean energy ‘just get better and better’
The economics of clean energy “just get better and better”, leaving opponents of the transition looking like “King Canute”, says Chris Stark. Stark is head of the UK government’s “mission” to deliver clean power by 2030, having previously been chief executive of the advisory Climate Change Committee (CCC).
In an interview with Carbon Brief, Stark makes the case for the “radical” clean-power mission, which he says will act as “huge insurance” against future gas-price spikes.
