The Labour Government of England announced a significant policy shift requiring that all new homes must be fitted with solar panels by 2027. This decision reverses their earlier rejection of the Sunshine Bill, which aimed at making solar panels mandatory. While the Sunshine Bill was criticized for potential impacts on housing supply and costs, the new commitment is seen as a response to public demand and environmental advocacy. CPRE, a countryside charity, praised this move as a victory for clean energy, aiming for a cleaner future without compromising rural areas.
