The solar industry very much welcomes the addition of guidance on solar PV to the National Policy Statement for renewable energy infrastructure. However, there are several provisions which could be strengthened, which we have outlined below.
This equates to roughly 40GW of solar by 2030, and the solar industry body, Solar Energy UK, has demonstrated in its 2021 report “Lighting the Way” that this target is possible. We recommend that a target for solar generation should be included in the NPS.
Solar PV is one of the eight key renewable energy technologies that can help to create a clean, balanced UK energy mix1.
As set out in the UK Renewable Energy Roadmap Update 2012, analysis indicates that there is a potential deployment range of 7-20GW (equivalent to 6-18TWh), with 20GW being the technical maximum level of solar PV deployment by 20201. 14.
Principle 2 – Support for solar PV should deliver genuine carbon reductions that help meet the UK’s target of 15 per cent renewable energy from final consumption by 2020. Why is this principle important? 49. Solar PV and other renewable energy technologies can displace more carbon intensive generation from our electricity supply.
The UK’s planning regimes include robust safeguards to ensure that developments, including solar PV installations, are properly sited and that individuals, communities and the landscape itself are protected against any unacceptable impacts. This means that
