UK: Plans To Reach 45-47GW Of Photovoltaic Installed Capacity in 2030

The British government's latest "2030 Clean Power Action Plan" proposes to achieve a substantial increase in renewable energy installed capacity by 2030, focusing on the development of offshore wind power and solar photovoltaics. The plan clarifies that the photovoltaic installed capacity target in 2030 is 45-47GW, and also emphasizes that it is expected to exceed the upper limit of 47GW.

Solar photovoltaic power generation is a technology that uses the principle of photovoltaic effect to directly convert solar energy into electrical energy. It is mainly composed of solar panels, controllers and inverters. Solar Power Photovoltaic Inverter Fuse is also one of the important accessories. It has the advantages of clean, renewable, flexible installation, and low operation and maintenance costs. It is one of the ideal green energy sources. one.

As of the second quarter of 2024, the cumulative installed solar photovoltaic capacity in the UK is 16.6GW, with another 23.8GW under construction or contracted projects. Solar Energy UK believes that the 45GW target is conservative and that solar photovoltaics has the ability to significantly exceed this level.

Plans include promoting the installation of solar systems in warehouses, industries and outdoor parking lots, and will launch research on the construction of photovoltaic carports in parking lots in 2025. In addition, solar technology has been included in policies such as Warm Homes Local Grant and Warm Homes Social Housing Fund, and will be further expanded in the new version of the plan in the future.

In addition to solar photovoltaics, wind power is also the core content of the plan, with the goal of achieving a cumulative installed capacity of 43-50GW by the end of 2030, while the installed capacity of onshore wind power is 27-29GW. Wind power is a form of clean energy that uses wind power to drive wind turbines to rotate and convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. It has the advantages of being renewable, environmentally friendly, and widely distributed, and plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, wind power technology continues to advance and costs are gradually reduced, which is an important part of sustainable development. Equipment-related accessories include Aluminum Solar Panel End Clamps for PV Mounting System, etc.

Flexible power regulation capabilities are also part of the plan, with plans to install 23-27GW of battery energy storage, 4-6GW of long-term energy storage, and develop flexible technologies such as gaseous carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen energy. In addition, about 35GW of natural gas reserve capacity will ensure the security of power supply.
