The Government recognises the potential of floating solar technology to enhance renewable energy generation while also offering environmental benefits such as reduced evaporation and improved water quality. We have been monitoring pilot projects like the one at Queen Elizabeth II reservoir and are encouraged by their success. The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is actively exploring policy measures that could facilitate wider adoption of floating solar technology in suitable locations across the UK. This includes reviewing regulatory frameworks to streamline deployment processes and potentially offering financial incentives through various funding streams such as the Renewable Heat Incentive or Contracts for Difference schemes. The Government remains committed to supporting innovations that contribute towards achieving net-zero emissions while ensuring sustainable water management practices. The Minister acknowledges the potential of floating solar technology but notes challenges such as higher costs compared to ground-mounted projects. She mentions ongoing work with industry to encourage deployment, including eligibility for contracts for difference schemes despite none being successful due to high costs. The Government aims to invest in research and development to bring down costs and unlock the technology's potential. She also addresses concerns about agricultural land use, noting that only a small fraction of UK land is currently covered by ground-mounted solar panels. Finally, she commits to engaging extensively with industry on how to address barriers for floating solar deployment. We are working on a solar road map which will be published soon. While I cannot disclose details, floating solar is an area we recognise as exciting with huge potential for deployment in the UK. We want to engage industry to ensure that floating solar technology can be cost-effective and deployed efficiently. Our commitment is to work closely with industry experts to build up our clean power sector.
