Britain will add 545MW of new photovoltaic installations in 2020

    With the reshaping of the British solar energy trading agency, the UK added 545 MW Solar Power To Home of power generation capacity last year. Therefore, a new announcement announced plans to further increase the project capacity of 1.6 GWp in the former EU member states.

    Private equity group Windel Capital said: "An agreement has been signed with Canadian Solar to "co-develop" the 1.4GWp solar product portfolio in the UK, and the first batch of sites are ready to be installed in the second half of the year.

    Windel said the fund will “ready” the 1.4 GWp project it has accumulated in 18 months. Point out that Canadian Solar will provide funding and an energy purchase agreement (PPA).

    Following the acquisition of a 12-megawatt, unsubsidized solar project from Anesco last year, Gresham House, a London-based sustainability investment fund, will provide a three-year contract for the "shovel-ready" project. The first planned solar power station will start construction this year, and the entire product portfolio will be connected to the grid within three years.

    British trade agency Solar Energy UK stated that the country added 545 megawatts of solar power capacity last year, bringing its total capacity to 13.9GW, of which 60% of new projects are ground-mounted, and the rest comes mainly from commercial and industrial solar power. roof.

    The industry group stated that the figures it had compiled with London-based professional publisher Solar Media Ltd were more accurate than the government’s official report, and British Solar Energy UK stated that this was nearly 500MW behind actual production.

    Despite the occurrence of Covid-19, a bumper year for solar energy in the UK-April created a record 9.68GW solar power generation, and a new milestone was set a month later, when solar energy provided 11% of the UK's electricity .

    Finlay Colville, head of research at Solar Media, said that the market may once again become an important year driven by the increase in production capacity of non-subsidy, PPA-driven projects. He said: "The prospects for 2021 and beyond are expected to continue for deployments above the gigawatt level."
