UK Labour government lifts ban on onshore wind farms, enabling expansion for renewable energy.

The UK Labour government has removed restrictions on onshore wind farms in England, ending a ban that was previously in place. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced plans to overhaul the National Planning Policy Framework, effectively lifting the ban and enabling the expansion of renewable energy sources. The government aims to double onshore wind capacity by 2030, in line with efforts to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century.
