subsidy-free

Solar EPC Wirsol Energy has acquired development rights for two UK-based, subsidy-free solar farms that it intends to develop in Q1 2018.

NextEnergy Solar Fund has accelerated its timeline for developing subsidy-free solar in the UK, committing to completing four such projects over the next 12 months.

UK-based renewables developer Anesco has laid claim to the country’s first subsidy-free solar farm, a 10MW site near Flitwick in Bedfordshire.

Aberla’s new leadership is targeting significant growth in both solar and storage markets, considering the former to be at grid-parity and the latter to be “on the cusp of a boom”.

With the Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) scheme for UK based solar incentives finishing on 31 March 2017, the domestic sector once again showed its resilience by installing a healthy 640MW during Q1 2017.

UK solar developers are edging closer to deploying utility-scale solar without the need for subsidies, a panel of asset owners has said.
