The Energy Secretary is today outlining a package of measures intended to advance national energy security. According to a government announcement, the interventions are designed to move forward at a quicker pace.
A key initiative involves making plug-in solar panels available for purchase in the UK for the first time. These low-cost, portable units are intended for use in gardens, on balconies, or on walls, providing an option for residents who cannot install rooftop systems. The government states it will work quickly with industry and consumer groups to establish standards and amend regulations to bring these products to market.
Furthermore, the government intends to open the next Allocation Round in July 2026. The most recent auction round is described as the biggest ever in Europe for offshore wind procurement. Combined with the preceding auction, the government reports securing enough clean power capacity for the equivalent of 23 million homes.
In parallel, the government is taking action on consumer protection in the fuel market. It is working with the Competition and Markets Authority, which plans to increase monitoring of the road fuel sector to identify potential unfair practices. The government supports the CMA’s stated readiness to fine companies if laws are broken. Compliance with the government’s fuel price comparison scheme has also increased, with a major retailer now participating, bringing the scheme’s coverage to nearly all fuel pumps nationally.
Separately, the government is accelerating a portion of its Warm Homes Plan. Funding is being devolved to the mayors of Liverpool, London, and West Yorkshire for street-by-street upgrades to low-income homes, joining two other regions that have already received such devolved funding. The Minister for Energy Consumers will meet with local government and suppliers in the coming days to facilitate the rollout.
The government also confirms it will apply lessons learned from a review on accelerating nuclear power station construction to other infrastructure projects, including renewables. A summary of government actions since July 2024 includes fast-tracking planning decisions for solar and wind, advancing nuclear power projects, and confirming that new homes will be built with solar panels as standard.
