abstract
The Energy Secretary is today setting out an accelerated package of energy interventions to boost the UK's energy security: Announcing that "plug-in solar", low cost solar panels that families can buy at supermarkets and put on their balconies or outdoor space, will be made available in the UK for the first time. Announcing that we intend to bring forward the Government's next annual renewables auction to July, inviting renewables companies to invest in UK energy. The most recent round was the biggest ever and alongside the previous auction, we have confirmed enough clean power to power the equivalent of 23 million homes. Following the implementation of the Fingleton Review into speeding up the building of nuclear power stations, confirmation that the government will apply the lessons of the review to other infrastructure such as renewables.
note
[Plug-in solar and faster renewable permitting. Quote: "Easy-to-install, plug-in solar could see households make significant savings on their energy bills. Plug-in solar is already widely used in homes across Europe, with Germany seeing around half a million new devices plugged in last year alone. The Government will work at pace with the relevant bodies, consumer groups and industry to introduce new standards and amend regulations to get these onto the market as soon as possible. The portable, plug-in solar panels can be placed in gardens or on walls and balconies — providing a new, simple alternative for renters and flat owners who may not have the option of rooftop solar. The free solar power can then be safely plugged into a mains socket like any other device, at no extra cost — thereby reducing the amount of electricity taken from the grid and cutting energy bills."
