Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what is the total anticipated generation capacity in MWh of solar power projects that are approved but have not yet been connected to the grid.
This question was answered on 31st March 2026
According to the latest version of the Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), as at January 2026 approximately 24GW capacity of ground mounted solar power projects have received planning consent but are not yet connected to the grid. This figure is an approximation as the REPD does not track projects below 150kW.
