Signs of a UK government that’s prepared to back solar have emerged within a fortnight of the Labour Party securing victory in the General Election. The government has already signed off on more than 1 GW of new solar capacity. It’s been a whirlwind two weeks for the UK solar industry.
The report outlines several policies that would boost PV deployment, including business rates reform, an end to VAT for solar energy systems, and solar PV’s continued eligibility for Government-led clean power auctions.
Solar Energy UK has published new analysis setting out a roadmap to treble solar PV capacity over the next eight years. The new report titled Lighting the way reveals the policy and regulatory changes required to unleash the potential of solar energy in the UK.
Chris Hewett, chief executive of Solar Energy UK, told pv magazine he believes the new UK government “unambiguously” wants the industry to grow, a first for the trade association. “It’s central to their economic strategy,” said Hewett, “There is no path to their growth strategy that doesn’t go through the clean energy transition.”
2.10.12 Government is also supporting solar through the Contracts for Difference Scheme and will include it in future rounds. 2.10.13 Solar farms are one of the most established renewable electricity technologies in the UK and the cheapest form of electricity generation.
It sets out that government is supportive of solar that is “co-located [footnote 80] with other functions (for example, agriculture, onshore wind generation, or storage) to maximise the efficiency of land use”.
