Recommendation 17
17
Paragraph: 83
Accelerated deployment pace needed to achieve 70 GW solar capacity by 2035.
Conclusion
The Government’s aim for 70 GW of solar capacity to be installed by 2035 is welcome. Achieving this goal will require the UK to ramp up the pace at which new solar capacity is deployed. We therefore welcome the Government’s announcement of a solar roadmap and the establishment of a dedicated government/industry taskforce. We strongly welcome the Government’s clarification that it is not planning to change the classification of agricultural land in ways which would constrain the expansion of the UK’s solar capacity.
