UK Government proposes changes to solar farm subsidiesLarge-scale solar farms will no longer receive financial support through theRenewables Obligation (RO) scheme as of next April, under proposalsput forward by the UK government. According to DECC, large-scale solaris deploying much faster than it anticipated. The consultation on solarsubsidies published by the Department for Energy and Climate Change(DECC) proposes closing the RO to new solar PV capacity above 5MWfrom 1st April 2015, across England, Wales and Scotland. However,projects above 5MW will be able to apply for support through the newContract for Difference (CfD) regime, which guarantees energy prices forclean energy generators. The announcement follows the publication inApril of the government’s Solar Strategy, looks to focus on deploying moresolar panels on the top of industrial and public sector buildings, the uptakeof which has been lower than expected. Industry projections indicate that,by 2017, there could be more solar deployed than is affordable – morethan the 2.4-4GW set out in the electricity market reform (EMR) deliveryplan.
