Labour Victory to Accelerate UK’s PV Deployment

POWER

Association Solar Energy UK anticipates Labour’s electoral victory to further accelerate the deployment of solar and energy storage in the country, it said.

  • Solar Energy has called for the new government to publish a Solar Roadmap, already drafted by the Solar Taskforce, and increase the budget for CfD’s Allocation Round 6.
  • Labour has pledged to triple solar power by 2030 – in line with SEUK’s manifesto demand for the UK to reach 50GW of solar generation capacity by the same date.
  • By the end of this year, the UK is expected to have around 20GW of PV, with 8GW of battery energy storage. SEUK forecasts 30GW by the end of the decade.
