6 FAQs about [New national standard for solar power generation]
How much solar power will the UK need by 2050?
To meet the UK government’s net zero target, the Climate Change Committee estimates that between 75-90 gigawatts (GW) of solar power will be needed by 2050. Analysis by Solar Energy UK indicates this would mean solar farms would, at most, account for approximately 0.4-0.6% of UK land – less than the amount currently used for golf courses
Should guidance on solar PV be included in the National Policy Statement?
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.
Does the NZS have a generation target for solar?
However, unlike offshore wind, nowhere in EN-3 or the NZS has the Government set a generation target for solar. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) has identified a need to deploy 54GW of solar by 2035 to keep on track to deliver net zero by 2050.
Should a target for solar generation be included in the 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.
Will solar power be a 'net zero' energy source in 2050?
According to the proposed new EN-1, the government envisages solar – together with wind – as accounting for the predominant sources of cheap, clean electricity supply in 2050, when the UK hopes to operate a ‘net zero’ economy, albeit complemented by other energy technologies that are less reliant on weather factors.
What are the energy NPS changes in 2021?
In autumn 2021, it embarked on a review of the energy NPSs and proposed amendments to five of the six existing policies – including its overarching energy NPS, EN-1, and EN-3 which applies to renewables NSIPs.
