Claire Coutinho cautioned that a rapid increase in solar and wind power might result in higher electricity prices in the UK.
“If we spend the next five years speeding up the price of solar and wind, then actually we could be increasing the price of electricity here at home,” she said.
Ms Coutinho also highlighted that overloading the energy system with intermittent renewables without adequate planning could lead to higher costs due to grid issues.
“If we overload our systems with intermittent before planning and the grid can catch up, then we’ll pay more when it comes to curtailments,” she added.
