Leaving the EU will not affect the UK's commitment to domestic and international efforts to tackle climate change. Renewable technologies now form a very significant part of the UK’s energy mix and will continue to do so into the future. Renewable energy will have a key role to play in delivering our ambitious Clean Growth Strategy. The UK will consider transposition of the Renewable Energy Directive II recast as part of the wider EU Exit negotiations on our future energy partnership.
