VK Plant Solar ‘Revolution’ for new houses
New houses built in Great Britain will have standard solar panels on the roof “, which reduces energy bills and achieving the goals of carbon reductions, the Labor government announced on Friday.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Party wants 1.5 million new houses built by 2029 in the midst of a housing shortage – a figure that is optimistic according to many experts.
Energie -Secretary Ed Miliband said that proposals announced on Friday: “A monumental step in releasing this revolution on the roof”.
The government said: “New houses will also have low-carbon heating, such as heat pumps and high levels of energy efficiency, reducing the energy bills of people and stimulating the country’s energy breach with clean, native power.”
It added in a statement that “a typical existing British house could save around “½530 ($ 717) per year when installing solar energy on the roof.”
“The proposed future housing standard would be changed to promote explicit solar energy for the first time, subject to practical limits with flexibility for new houses surrounded by trees or with a lot of shade overhead,” the government said.
Environmental campaign group Greenpeace welcomed the policy and insisted on the government to continue.
“This is a good example of how climate solutions can not only reduce the emissions of planet heating, but can also improve people’s lives,” said the head of politics, Ami McCarthy, in a statement.
“Now ministers must urgently reform the energy system of the United Kingdom as a whole and prevent gas from determining the price of electricity, so that everyone, whether it lives in a new building or not, can enjoy the lower accounts that can bring cheap, clean renewable power.”
Great -Britain has set its sights on supplying a net zero -carbon economy by 2050.
