4 FAQs about London solar power generation system

Will the London Underground be powered by solar energy?

Transport for London (TfL) has signed a major new deal to power the London Underground using clean solar energy, as part of a long-term plan to decarbonise the capital’s transport network and support biodiversity. A new solar facility will be built in Longfield, Essex, by EDF Renewables UK through its subsidiary Longfield Solar Energy Farm Limited.

What is London's solar energy potential?

London’s solar energy potential National government policy on solar energy currently favours large scale solar farms. With limited vacant land compared to other regions, this places London at a distinct disadvantage.

How can London maximise the potential for solar energy storage?

Combining solar energy generation technologies with energy storage technologies (like batteries) enables onsite use of heat or power to meet demand at any time of day. It is therefore important that London maximises the potential for solar energy storage as technology costs continue to fall.

What can the mayor of London do to promote solar energy?

Discussions with the solar industry in London have identified that one of the key roles the Mayor can play is promoting the potential of solar energy and the multiple benefits it can bring to Londoners. Other large cities including Tokyo and New York have developed interactive maps to demonstrate opportunities for solar energy at a building level.
