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.
We welcome the Government’s commitment to sustained growth of the solar industry and the ambition to deliver of 70GW of solar by 2035. The weighting in the Powering Up Britain documents and National Policy Statements to maximise deployment of both ground and rooftop solar to achieve our overall net zero targets is very welcomed.
Over the past decade, solar energy has experienced impressive growth in the UK. In 2010, solar panels were installed on just 22,000 roofs in the country. By 2020, that number had grown to more than 1 million roofs, producing around 13 GW of solar energy.
By 2030, some projections suggest that solar energy could account for as much as 20% of the UK’s total electricity generation. This growth will be driven by a combination of factors, including decreasing costs, improvements in technology and efficiency, and increasing demand for clean, renewable energy sources.
1.1.5 This National Policy Statement (NPS), taken together with the Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1), provides the primary policy for decisions by the Secretary of State on applications they receive for nationally significant renewable energy infrastructure defined at Section 1.6 of this NPS.
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.
