Solar Energy UK has created and shared a landmark report on how the UK’s solar capacity can be trebled by the end of the decade. Coming from one of the UK’s leading renewable energy industry bodies, here at Caplor Energy, we welcome this report as it gives us an optimistic outlook on the future for renewable energy.
This report has left us with three key messages:
- While solar energy capacity is set to double over this decade, the UK must treble it to deliver net-zero.
- It has the possibility of delivering 13,000 jobs and delivering £17 billion in additional economic potential, supporting a green economic recovery.
- It will provide over 10% of the UK’s electricity, significantly cutting UK carbon emissions by 4.7% compared to 2019, displacing fossil fuels.
However, to ensure the solar industry delivers the necessary contribution to the UK’s climate change, we need government intervention.
We would like to encourage our Caplor community to read and share this report so we can help to reach the 40GW of solar PV capacity by 2030. If you would like further information on how Solar PV can work for your home, business, or community, get in touch with us.
