As part of ‘Energy Security Day’, the Government released a suite of documents mapping out their proposals to strengthen energy security and independence as part of the UK’s mission to achieve net zero by 2050.
The central ‘Powering Up Britain’ paper says that solar energy has huge potential to help decarbonise the power sector. The accompanying Energy Security Plan re-stated and reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to 70GW by 2035, with the announcement of a ‘solar taskforce’, designed to enable the delivery of the solar target further and publish a solar road map in 2024.
Solar Energy UK has developed a high-level analysis of the central documents (Powering up Britain – Main Summary, Powering up Britain – Net Zero Growth Plan and Powering up Britain – Energy Security Plan) – See the document below.
