The U.K., which had the wettest summer in 100 years, added solar power to a list of technologies deemed crucial to meeting renewable-energy and carbon-reduction targets.
Solar photovoltaic power is on a list of nine technologies, which also includes marine and offshore wind energy, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said today in an e-mailed statement. The U.K. aims to cut emissions by 34 percent in 2020 from 1990 and has a European Union goal to get 15 percent of all energy from renewables by then.
