Solar Power
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate he has made of the contribution of on-shore solar energy to delivering the Government's target of clean power by 2030.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The rapid expansion of onshore solar power will be critical to achieving the Government’s clean power mission.
The Government will shortly publish its Clean Power Action Plan. Set for release by year-end, this will include estimates of the solar capacity needed to decarbonise the grid by 2030. Further detail about how Government and industry will meet these targets will be set out in the Solar Roadmap due for publication early next year.
