Ed
Miliband - Energy & Net Zero
ED MILLIBAND
Ed Miliband was appointed Secretary of State for
Energy Security and
Net Zero on 5 July 2024. He was elected as the MP for Doncaster North in July 2024.
Ed Miliband has been the shadow
energy secretary since 2021. He previously led
Labour from 2010 to 2015, stepping down following the party’s crushing loss to the Tories at the 2015 general election.
He was first elected as the MP for Doncaster North in May 2005, and served in
Gordon
Brown’s government before succeeding the New Labour veteran as leader, having defeated his brother David in the race for the top job.
He took a break from front-line politics during Mr Corbyn’s tenure, returning as Sir Keir’s shadow business secretary before taking the
energy brief.
Previous holders of this role
include the Rt Hon Claire Coutinho from 2023 to 2024 and the Rt Hon Grant Shapps
2023 to 2023. During which time there was no headway on charging points
for EVs
or hydrogen
service
stations for FCEVs.
Nor was the Grid improved to allow transition to zero emission
transport, and the dividends flowed to overseas investors care of Margaret
Thatcher's great British garage sale. And the less said about ZEWT
ocean transport the better.

ENERGY LIVE NEWS 23 JULY 2024 - ENERGY SECRETARY SETS NEW CAPACITY MARKET AUCTION RULES
Ed Miliband has outlined the rules for the upcoming Capacity Market auctions for 2025-2026 and 2028-2029.
The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net
Zero, Ed Miliband, has issued a letter to the Electricity System Operator detailing the parameters for the forthcoming Capacity Market auctions.
The letter outlines the requirements for the T-1 auction for the 2025-2026 delivery year and the T-4 auction for the 2028-2029 delivery year.
The parameters include the volume of capacity to be secured and de-rating factors for interconnections.
For the T-1 auction, a target capacity of 6.5GW has been set, which is a reduction from the initially recommended 6.8GW.
For the T-4 auction, the target capacity is 45GW, with 1GW set aside for the associated T-1 auction, resulting in a procurement target of 44GW.
The letter also indicates that the parameters for the auctions may be updated following pre-qualification and will be confirmed before the auctions take place in early 2025.
In addition, the letter references the ongoing consultations aimed at improving the security of supply and aligning the Capacity Market with the government’s net zero
goals.
Feedback from industry stakeholders and representative bodies has been considered in setting these parameters.
The government has also completed a consultation on Capacity Market reforms, which aimed to boost supply security and align with net zero goals.
The government said the changes will be made through amendments to the Capacity Market Rules 2014 rather than the
Electricity Capacity Regulations 2014, including allowing mothballed plants and
batteries to participate in auctions.
FOSSIL
FOOLS - Geriatric politicians with 'climate-senile' policies will
find in difficult to break away from their corrupt ways, as part time
politicians with two jobs. Their main job being to find paid consultancy
work, rather than craft policies and create statute that works to
protect our voters from lung
cancer, energy shortages and a lack of affordable (sustainable)
housing.
The
'zerophobics' are the undertakers of the political world, sending
millions of ordinary people to an early grave, while loading us with NHS,
hospital and staff costs that would not be needed if we had clean air in
our cities.
Basically,
the longer you are in politics, the more likely you are to be exposed to
bribes, from climate
deniers, mostly fossil fuel and energy companies, looking to keep on
pumping toxic fumes into the atmosphere, so they can keep making money.
The political undertakers are working with them to keep hospitals
stocked with cancer victims, adding to the £Trillions we owe as part of
the national debt. Under Boris and Rishi Sunack, pensioner's saving have
halved in real terms. They are blood sucking vampires, draining what
little you had saved for your retirement.
