The Department of Energy and Climate Change has dramatically upgraded its solar deployment forecast for 2020 to 12GW.
Energy secretary Amber Rudd made the announcement during a landmark speech this morning, outlining her department’s future energy strategy.
During the speech, Rudd said: “Over 8GW of solar is already deployed and even with the costs controls we have proposed we expect to have around 12GW in place by 2020. [Solar] will be cost-competitive through the 2020s.”
