👏 A welcome boost for solar in the public sector! Solar Energy UK welcomes the government’s announcement that Great British Energy will back solar deployment across schools, hospitals, and public buildings. This marks a significant vote of confidence in solar’s role in tackling rising energy costs, meeting net zero targets, and improving energy security – while delivering real benefits to communities. Public sector buildings have huge untapped potential to generate clean, affordable electricity right where it's needed most. We're excited to see this step forward, and we look forward to working with GB Energy to turn this potential into progress. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/ePvEFfxc #SolarEnergy #PublicSector #NetZero #EnergyTransition #Sustainability

Very good meeting with Michael Shanks MP, Minister for Energy, this week. We discussed issues around how to further accelerate solar rooftop in the UK. Amongst a wide range of policies, Solar Energy UK is pressing for the following short term actions from Government: ☀️ GB Energy to invest in solar and batteries for public sector buildings, such as schools and hospitals; ☀️ Fast implementation of the Future Home Standard and Future Building Standard, to effectively mandate solar on all new buildings; ☀️ Warm Homes Plan to include grants to install solar and batteries in low income households so benefit from permanently lower energy bills I also raised the industry concerns about the interpretation of 2035 technology scenarios in the Clean Power Action Plan in the current Ofgem TMO4+ connections reform process, potentially leading to significant loss of investor confidence in utility scale solar post-2030. Finally - the Solar Roadmap should be published soon!
