budget 2020

Solar Power Portal chatted to Richard Palmer, a senior consultant at independent power and energy consultancy Roadnight Taylor about what needs to change to make business rates work for solar.

Solar Power Portal talked to some of the key players in the solar sector to gauge their reactions following yesterday’s Budget.

Chris Hewett, chief executive of the Solar Trade Association, spoke to Solar Power Portal about the exclusion of solar in yesterday’s Budget and the promise of a reform to business rates.

Solar is once again absent from the Budget as nuclear fusion and carbon capture technologies receive funding boosts.
