Alistair Phillips-Davies, chief executive of Perth, Scotland-based energy firm SSE PLC, said: "As one of the largest investors in clean power in the UK we are very supportive of the strategic spatial energy plan.
"Having long-term stability through spatial plans and policy mechanisms will be critical to unlocking billions of pounds of investment across the country, supporting good jobs and building a homegrown energy system that is cleaner, more affordable and secure."
Jonathan Brearley, chief executive of Ofgem, said the plan "will be a real gamechanger in unlocking growth and investment, accelerating new infrastructure build, and speeding up innovation and technology".
"It will be a big stepping stone in delivering government's mission to provide clean power by 2030 and accelerate the transition to net zero."
