Chinese-made Solar Panels Installed in British Schools

The UK government-backed GB Energy's first solar panel installations in schools used panels from Chinese firms Aiko and Longi, raising concerns over forced labour and ethical sourcing due to China's dominance in solar panel manufacturing and allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. GB Energy claims compliance with UK modern slavery laws and aims to promote ethical supply chains, but critics argue that buying from China perpetuates unethical practices.

Labour's Vision: A Decarbonized UK with Publicly Owned Energy

Britain's Labour Party plans to address grid delays and invest in clean energy infrastructure by speeding up connections to the National Grid network. Labour aims to remove barriers to connections and facilitate a major upgrade to the national transmission infrastructure. The party also intends to end the situation where renewable developers are paid to turn off their energy generation due to grid overload. Labour's plans include the establishment of a publicly owned energy company, GB Energy, which will coordinate tenders for the supply chain needed for the revamped grid system.
