Persistent myths and misconceptions about renewables, battery storage, and grid infrastructure can create unnecessary obstacles to the UK’s clean energy transition, fuelling uncertainty and public concern. To achieve our renewable energy targets at the scale and pace required, it’s essential to address these misconceptions and engage communities in ways that ensure they understand – and benefit from – renewable energy development.

MPs play a vital role here; not only representing local voices in decision-making but also sharing accurate information about renewable technologies. 

In collaboration with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Renewable & Sustainable Energy (PRASEG), Regen has developed a comprehensive resource to help MPs and others address common myths about onshore renewables. This guide provides clear, evidence-based insights on issues ranging from land use to public opinion and environmental impact, equipping users to engage confidently and constructively in discussions on clean energy. 

The guide empowers readers with the facts needed to debunk misconceptions, advocate for renewable projects, and support a transition that benefits both local communities and the environment.
