The Task force was established in March 2023 and has met on the following dates:

To deliver on the roadmap for renewables set out in CAP 23, the focus of the Accelerating Renewable Electricity Task force meetings has been assessing means to fast-track and increase deployment and output of renewable electricity generation and supporting technologies in the near-term. The key task force output will be the development of a programme of work to support the achievement of the renewable electricity targets.
