solar taskforce

The National Energy System Operator (NESO) has published its Clean Power 2030 (CP30) report, advising the government on the steps it should take to achieve its 2030 targets.

The UK government has reactivated the Solar Taskforce as part of a series of plans to speed up the delivery of solar energy across the country.

“The biggest issue with the solar sector currently is the grid and the workforce”, said Mark Wakeford, chairman of EvoEnergy.

Following a reshuffle within DESNZ, Graham Stuart MP has been replaced by Andrew Bowe MP as co-chair of the Solar Taskforce.

The UK Solar Taskforce has established four issue-specific sub-groups to support the creation of its roadmap for 70GW of solar by 2035.

The UK solar sector has received a major boost with the UK Government announcing the first meeting of the new Solar Taskforce.

Following a tumultuous 2022, the Government’s new Energy Security Plan was a hugely welcome ray of sunshine for the solar industry. Solar Energy UK’s senior communications adviser Gareth Simkins reflects on the transformation of attitudes in Downing Street.

The solar industry has welcomed the UK government’s plans to establish a Solar Taskforce as part of a range of measures introduced in the “Energy Security Day” package.
