Reconstruction: deliver renewables-led Clean Power with nuclear, batteries, long-duration storage, interconnectors, networks, demand flexibility and dispatchable backup. Published 2030 ranges are 43–50 GW offshore wind, 27–29 GW onshore wind, 45–47 GW solar, 23–27 GW batteries, 4–6 GW long-duration storage and 12–14 GW interconnection, with unabated gas generation toward 5%. Continue transition through 2035.

Caveat: ranges are not guaranteed outcomes or a complete fixed 2035 mix.
