answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2017 answer text <p>Solar PV is a UK success story, with rapid deployment over the last 7 years, over 99% of the UK’s solar PV capacity has been deployed since May 2010.</p><p>We are exceeding our historic projections on solar deployment. In 2013 we estimated that solar capacity would reach 10-12GW by 2020. We now expect Government support to bring forward around 13 GW by 2020. Support for solar comes directly from people's bills, so when costs come down, so should support. Therefore we have taken steps to control the costs of support schemes and put solar on a path to delivering without subsidy.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 27/06/2017 13:36:20 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
