Building a grid-ready future for UK solar image

The UK solar industry is on the cusp of transformative growth. The government’s Clean Power 2030 ambition, the newly published UK Solar Roadmap and parallel regulatory reforms across grid, planning and markets have created an environment more supportive than ever of large-scale solar deployment. But while the direction of travel is positive, the pace and complexity of change mean that solar developers must become more strategic, more proactive and more collaborative if they are to turn policy ambition into operational capacity.

At Natural Power, we work with developers and investors across the full lifecycle of renewable projects, from feasibility and grid strategy to consenting, engineering and ongoing asset optimisation. Our perspective is grounded in both technical delivery and commercial reality. The message we want to share is simple: UK policy is creating opportunity, but realising it will depend on timely, expert-led engagement across every stage of project development.

From vision to delivery: solar’s role in Clean Power 2030

The UK government’s Clean Power Action Plan outlines the scale of the ambition: increasing solar capacity from just over 18 GW today to 45 to 47 GW by 2030, with potential to exceed that upper range based on system needs. This ambition is reiterated in the UK Solar Roadmap, which sets out a complementary suite of measures aimed at removing barriers to deployment, especially where solar is combined with battery storage.
