The UK tops out at about 35-45 GW daily so this is really a substantial amount of power with a lot more planned in the near future. Solar is also taking off, around 200k home solar installations every year at the moment and a lot of new commercial solar farms are being installed. Its a good 1/4 the price of gas, this is mostly economics driving the change rather than any real policy from government.

That last line is a bit odd, isn't it? A country isn't reliant on being in or out of the EU to do cool stuff.

Either way, this is good news. We need more of this.
