Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation
In a world that is shifting away from fossil fuels in response to the threat of climate change, the UK’s low carbon policies have seen renewable electricity capacity increase by more than three times since 2010. The future is clearly one of unremitting growth in electricity generation from wind and solar farms.Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation is concerned with the law and regulation of electricity generation in the case of the two most popular sources of energy derived from renewable resources.It covers up-to-date national policy and guidance relevant to electricity generation collected from renewable resources.There is also coverage of the powers of local planning authorities and of the Secretary of State, along with devolved powers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, in dealing with onshore and offshore energy projects along with the impact of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects under the 2008 Act.This book also covers consents under sections 36 (onshore and offshore wind generation) and 37 (overhead lines) of the Electricity Act 1989 and the grant of FEBA licences from the Marine and Fisheries Agency in the case of offshore consents.The availability of financial assistance for the generation and export of renewable energy to the grid is also dealt with, and there are several case studies examining a number of recent decisions of the courts, the Secretary of State, inspectors and reporters, involving wind and solar energy proposals.Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation will be an invaluable reference for lawyers, planning professionals and operators in the relevant sectors.It will also be of interest to others in showing how the industry is developing and of the regulatory processes involved in securing consents for the commercial development of energy from wind and solar power.

What is the difference between solar thermal, solar panels, and photovoltaics?
Solar thermal technology uses the heat from the sun to generate electricity or to heat water for residential or commercial use. Solar panels, also known as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, convert sunlight directly into electricity using the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaics is the process of converting light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. In summary, solar thermal technology uses the sun's heat to generate electricity or heat water, while solar panels and photovoltaics directly convert sunlight into electricity using different methods.
-
What are solar thermal power plants?
Solar thermal power plants use sunlight to generate electricity by converting solar energy into heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity. These power plants can operate even when the sun is not shining by storing excess heat in thermal storage systems. Solar thermal power plants are a renewable energy source that can provide clean electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Is solar energy renewable?
Yes, solar energy is renewable because it is derived from the sun, which is a virtually limitless source of energy. The sun's energy is constantly being replenished and will continue to do so for billions of years. This makes solar energy a sustainable and renewable source of power that can be harnessed for electricity generation and other applications.
-
What is the pressure in solar thermal energy?
The pressure in solar thermal energy systems can vary depending on the specific design and application. In general, the pressure in solar thermal systems is typically lower than in traditional fossil fuel-based systems. This is because solar thermal systems often operate at lower temperatures and do not require high pressure to generate energy. However, some solar thermal systems, such as concentrating solar power plants, may operate at higher pressures to increase the efficiency of energy conversion. Overall, the pressure in solar thermal energy systems is carefully controlled to ensure safe and efficient operation.
