Daniel Zeichner – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Daniel Zeichner on 2015-11-05.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of changes to support for the solar power sector on the market share of the global solar industry that will be held by UK firms by 2020.
Andrea Leadsom
Our current estimates, assuming we incorporate proposed cost control measures under both the RO and FIT schemes, are that solar PV capacity in the UK could be approximately 9.6GW by 2020. How that stacks up as a market share globally will depend on many variables in markets around the world.
