'Delivery a real challenge' as UK's Johnson targets renewable and nuclear power shift by 2035

The UK will target a net zero power system based on renewables or nuclear by 2035, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a pledge that drew praise for its ambition but immediate questions over its delivery.

Johnson on Monday confirmed that the UK will target net-zero decarbonised electricity by the middle of the next decade, although few details were given on how that would be achieved.
