UK plans to reach 70GW of PV installations by 2035

    According to foreign media reports, the British government recently released an energy security strategy detailing the goal of increasing the country's installed photovoltaic Solar Panel Home power generation capacity by five times. The strategy is in response to growing uncertainty in the energy sector, recent high oil prices, and volatility over the past month due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

    The strategy, which provides support for new nuclear, offshore wind and heat pumps, has also been criticized by some in the energy industry for not including energy efficiency measures or providing more direct support to consumers struggling with soaring energy bills .

    Regarding how to facilitate the deployment of photovoltaic systems, the UK government is planning to negotiate rules to simplify the rollout of photovoltaic systems and will help the photovoltaic industry create 10,000 jobs by 2028, which is almost double the previous forecast.

    Under the strategy, residential and commercial rooftop PV developers will be consulted on relevant permit development rights to radically simplify the planning process and will consider the best way to utilize public sector rooftop PV systems.
