Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the accuracy of the solar capacity identified in the report entitled Clean Power 2030, published by National Energy System Operator on 5 November 2024.

Work is ongoing to examine the ‘Clean Power 2030’ report from the National Energy System Operator (NESO).

The Government will provide its own assessment of the generating capacity required to decarbonise the grid by 2030, in a Clean Power Action Plan, set for release by year-end. This will include capacity estimates for solar power and other technologies.
