The UK's Labour government is being urged to release a comprehensive "solar roadmap" to accelerate solar capacity expansion. Solar Energy UK (SEUK) recommends basing this roadmap on a draft from the UK’s solar taskforce, aiming for 70GW by 2035. Additionally, SEUK advises increasing the budget for the UK's CfD scheme, with results expected in September.
Chris Hewett, SEUK CEO, highlights Labour's first year as critical for solar and energy storage sectors, crucial for energy security, cost reduction, and climate action. Labour's goals include doubling onshore wind, tripling solar power, and quadrupling offshore wind by 2030.
The UK saw an increase of over 850MW in renewable capacity in the first quarter, with solar photovoltaics contributing 776MW, reaching 16.7GW.
