As part of plans to be outlined by Ed Miliband, future Labor governments could mandate the installation of solar panels on the roofs of all new homes.
The shadow climate change secretary says the party is “very interested” in introducing new legislation to ensure that all new commercial buildings and homes built in the UK must be fitted with solar panels. Said it was something.
“Keep an eye on this space,” he said in response to a question about the mandatory solar panels in the new building.
“We will talk more about this. But I think there is a huge opportunity for solar rooftop technology.
The Labor front-venture also argued that onshore wind farms are more popular among the masses than “beer, pizza and royalty”, and that local communities are “getting away” from new wind farms being built in their area. I will make a profit,” he promised.
Labor will overhaul its planning system to make it easier to build projects such as onshore wind farms and nuclear power plants, as part of its effort to reach net-zero power generation by 2030. says.
Asked what it would do to allow local communities to build wind farms in their areas, Miliband said:[We would] Benefit the local community.
“If someone feels like they’re from a big company and it’s nothing for the locals, people will say we don’t want to be part of this. , I’ve seen this locally in my constituency, and people have very different views.”
Miliband quoted Greg Jackson of energy company Octopus, who argued that onshore wind is “really popular.”
“He said he was more popular than pizza and beer. I don’t know if you believe that,” said the Labor MP.
Workers are considering options that include giving people lower energy rates in return for allowing communities to build wind farms, one source said.
This proposal forms part of the party’s Green Prosperity Plan. It’s a response to the US government’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which is pouring hundreds of billions of federal dollars into the green sector to boost growth.
Miliband said Labor would borrow money for “prudent investments” in renewable technologies and green energy to boost jobs and grow the economy.
He dismissed the Conservative government’s criticism of Joe Biden’s IRA, calling them “loser syndrome.”
“As the U.S. and Europe move closer in the global race for green industries, we’re moaning about rules in the locker room,” Miliband said.
“We need to stop moaning about anti-inflation laws and start matching their ambitions.”
