Solar power bonanza will push down consumer bills Record generation capacity has been secured from new wave of planned solar farms, at a price significantly lower than the wholesale cost of electricity.

Good news for energy bills: the UK just secured more solar power than ever before — 50% more capacity than the last round — at prices 10% lower than before.

☀️ Solar is now the cheapest electricity we can generate. And 157 new farms will be built by 2029 to prove it.

Solar sector ‘ready and able’ to deliver Government’s Warm Homes Plan The solar energy and battery storage industry will play a major part in delivering Westminster’s plan to revolutionise how we heat and power our homes

☀️ The solar sector is ready to power the UK's £15bn Warm Homes Plan. With 1.6m households already solar-powered and record installations last year, the industry can deliver upgrades to 5m homes by 2030.

Solar + batteries + heat pumps = massive bill savings and energy security 🔋🏠💷 Let's go! 🚀
