CPRE welcomes government rooftop solar commitment
Responding to the government’s new Warm Homes Plan, CPRE campaigns manager Jackie Copley said: ‘We are delighted that the government will ensure solar panels are included as standard on all new homes and triple by 2030 the number of homes with rooftop solar.
‘The government should seize this opportunity to help deliver at least 60% of our total solar energy needs from rooftops.
‘Doing so would help to relieve the pressure that large-scale solar farms place on our countryside, generating the renewable energy we need while protecting iconic landscapes and productive farmland.’
