Andrew Bowie MP has been unveiled as the new co-chair of the UK’s Solar Taskforce.
Bowie will now take over from the Rt Hon Graham Stuart as the co-chair of the Solar Taskforce following a reshuffle at the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero.
In previous roles Bowie has lead projects on nuclear and international energy, energy investment and supply chain projects.
At Solar and Storage Live Birmingham 2023, fellow co-chair of the Solar Taskforce and Chief Executive of Solar Energy UK, Chris Hewett explained that the creation of the Solar Taskforce is to create a “genuinely joint” industry and government initiative to work together and achieve the 70GW target of Solar generation in the UK by 2035.
The UK’s Solar Taskforce is currently tackling to develop a roadmap for delivering the UK target of 70GW of Solar generation which will be published prior to Solar and Storage Live London in 2024.
Chris Hewett, Chief Executive of Solar Energy UK, said:
“The news of Graham Stuart’s change of duties is unfortunate timing, but I would like to thank him for being a most effective co-chair of the Solar Taskforce alongside me and a genuinely enthusiastic champion of solar energy. We look forward to engaging with Andrew Bowie as the taskforce begins to conclude its work, as well as continuing to work with Minister Stuart as he takes on the critical brief of addressing network issues.”
