Science and Technology Committee Publish Report on Clean Growth Strategy
Science and Technology Committee Publish Report on Clean Growth Strategy: ‘Strong Policy Support’ for new solar power.
The report, published on the 22nd August by the Science & Technology Select Committee, advises how the government should review the Smart Export Guarantee scheme by the end of 2020.
They should ‘be ready to include a minimum price floor if there is evidence of a lack of market competitivity—for example, if uptake of tariffs is not significantly greater than the current number of tariffs or if the tariffs offered are significantly lower than wholesale electricity prices.
Most of the report’s recommendations are mirrored by the STA’s (Solar Trade Associations) campaigning over the past few years, for example: reducing business rates for companies generating their own renewable power through rooftop PV.
STA Chief Executive Chris Hewett said; “This report is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature that is calling on the government to bring down barriers to solar and energy storage in the UK. With a legally binding commitment to reach net zero by 2050, urgent action is needed now. The solar industry is ready to deliver on scale and must be recognised as part of the solution.”
