At Solar and Storage Live 2023, Chris Hewett, Chief Executive of Solar Energy UK, discussed the creation of the UK’s Solar taskforce and its emphasis on genuine collaboration between industry and government.
Chris explained 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 initiative is co-chaired by Chris and Rt Hon Graham Stuart, The Minister of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, and has 8 different members from the Solar industry.
Announcing this collaboration at Birmingham is just the start of this industry and government collaboration.
At Solar and Storage London, the UK will have a clear and concise roadmap for how we can achieve the 70GW of Solar generation in the UK by 2035.
