UK may rejoin GW club this year

Recent data published by Great Britain’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) show the country's solar PV cumulative capacity was 15,292.8 MW at the end of July, with newly installed capacity for the first seven months of this year reaching 643 MW. Although Gareth Simkins of Solar Energy UK said these figures were 'relatively low', he explained that several utility scale PV plants may have not been included in the statistics so far and there was cause for optimism.
