☀️ A sunny outlook for the solar industry?
Solar Energy UK (SEUK) has shared its verdict on the latest Budget, highlighting both positive steps for renewables and challenges still facing the industry.
Here are some of the key takeaways:
→ £100 million in additional funding for solar and battery installations in social housing.
→ Continued support for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, with £400 million per year planned until 2030.
→ A new £2 billion Energy Wealth Fund to support renewable and low-carbon energy infrastructure.
→ Concerns over the planned increase in VAT on domestic solar and battery installations from April 2027.
While the announcements bring opportunities for the sector, SEUK highlights the importance of keeping renewable energy affordable and maintaining confidence in future investment.
