Capacity limits in solar energy and storage: The challenge for investment in the UK

by Keep reading

The UK’s solar and energy storage sector faces uncertainty due to the proposed capacity limits for 2035. Gareth Simkins, Senior Communications Adviser at Solar Energy UK, warns about the impact on investment and the country’s competitiveness compared to other European markets in conversation with Strategic Energy Europe. The industry is seeking regulatory and technological solutions to ensure its continued growth.

The Federal Council of Germany has approved the Solarspitzen (Peak Solar Law), establishing new rules for financing photovoltaic installations and promoting the installation of smart meters. The German solar sector faces a major shift with the implementation of this regulation, aimed at stabilising the market and improving solar energy integration into the electricity grid.

The new regulatory framework aims to improve the integration of renewable energy into the German electricity grid. However, experts warn of its possible effects on the growth of certain sectors. “The regulatory changes aim to remove barriers to the expansion of solar energy and energy storage, but they will not have a significant impact on the pace of new photovoltaic installations,” says Carsten Körnig, CEO of Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft eV (BSW), to Strategic Energy Europe.

With a record 62.7% of renewable energy in its electricity mix, Germany is making strong progress in renewables. However, Irina Peltegova, Senior Green Power Market Analyst at Veyt, tells Strategic Energy Europe that the country faces key challenges in storage, price volatility, and new renewable energy support schemes. PPAs are emerging as an increasingly attractive alternative for the sector.

The country generates more renewable energy than it can consume, but the lack of grid infrastructure threatens the development of new projects. “Much of what we generate needs to be exported, but the grid connection is not ready for that,” warns John MacAskill, Group Growth Director at ABL Group, in a conversation with Strategic Energy Europe. In 2025, Scotland’s grid constraints are expected to cost nearly £2 billion in compensation payments.

The UK government is moving forward with its Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and preparing for the AR7 auction, which will be crucial for the development of wind and solar energy in the country. A record capacity of new generation is expected in a year that will shape the energy transition. Kumara Rathnam, Senior Analyst at Veyt, shared his perspective with Strategic Energy Europe on the challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

The United Kingdom reached a record price of €1,159/MWh on January 22nd, highlighting the flaws of an energy system dependent on gas and disconnected from Europe. Meanwhile, on the continent, prices remained between €159 and €180/MWh, emphasizing the advantages of integration and flexibility in electricity markets. Sofía Núñez Mier and Julio Del Pino shared their perspective on this issue with Strategic Energy Europe.

The decision to temporarily postpone Lithuania’s second offshore wind auction highlights tensions between the objectives of stabilising electricity prices and the need to attract foreign investment. Linas Sabaliauskas, Managing Director of the Lithuanian Wind Power Association (LVEA), told Energía Estratégica España that the measure has limited short-term impact but exposes structural vulnerabilities in the country’s energy strategy.
