If California was a country, we'd be third in solar energy... UK jumps Germany, India to become world #3 in utility-scale solar By Philip Wolfe on 4 May 2015 The United Kingdom has leap-frogged India and Germany to third place in the world ranking for utility-scale solar after a surge in installations in the first quarter of 2015. Developers and contractors pulled out all the stops to finish projects ahead of the 31stMarch deadline, when solar power stations over 5MW became ineligible for the Renewables Obligation incentive mechanism. Almost 1.5GW of installations were completed in the quarter according to data released today by Wiki-Solar. Leading the surge was Lightsource RE, which now holds some 700MWAC of utility-scale solar capacity, and climbed into the world’s top 10 solar generators in 2014. Its chief executive Nick Boyle said that “The UK has an extremely competitive ground-mount solar market and we are delighted to be amongst those at the forefront – we installed more than 300MWp in March alone. I still believe there is huge untapped potential.” The cumulative utility-scale capacity of the world’s top ten countries is shown below: Message 30052743 computerworld.com and PG&E alone might now be ahead of Spain for 6th; barely behind at the start of the year.
