Holyrood to increase the amount of solar energy generation in Europe

Holyrood has announced to increase the amount of solar energy generation in Europe. The move is to boost Scotland which has lagged behind on solar deployment.

The company committed the generation by up to 6GW for Scotland by 2030, which was welcomed by the solar energy industry.

As per local reports, the “pledge to a minimum of 4GW and an ambition of 6GW will mean a more than tenfold increase in the number of solar panels installed in Scotland.”

“We are absolutely delighted that the Scottish Government has committed to a level of ambition for deploying solar technology as part of Scotland’s energy mix,” chair of Solar Energy Scotland Thomas McMillan, was quoted.

Meanwhile, the solar industry has pledged to work with the Scottish government to deliver 4GW to 6GW of solar by 2030. Solar has been termed as the most affordable and accessible renewable energy technology.

“Setting a clear target for solar will benefit the industry, boosting investment and will ensure coherent action and direction across many policy areas, ranging from planning decisions on projects to creating green economic opportunities for people across Scotland,” the industry leaders expressed.
