The Direction of Travel for Solar Policy in the UK

Time: 09:20 - 09:40
Date: Day One - 27 June

Synopsis

  • In July 2022, the UK ran AR4, in which 66 solar projects with a combined capacity of 2.2 GW won at a price of £45.99/MWh. Capacities ranged from 6MW – 112MW and included Cleve Hill, the first Nationally Significant solar farm to secure support.
  • What should we expect from AR5?
  • In January 2023, we saw the publication of the Skidmore report which outlined the need to transform infrastructure in the UK to meet net zero goals.
  • February 2023 saw BEIS being broken up and a new department for Energy Security and Net Zero was created.

 

This conversation will give you in-depth insight into future plans to drive forward with net zero plans and how the government will approach the UK solar industry
