Mayoral hopefuls urged to back tenfold increase in London solar capacity

Greenpeace publishes new report detailing how capital can close the gap on the rest of the country when it comes to solar power, reports BusinessGreen

London could deliver a tenfold increase in solar power over the next 10 years, closing the gap which has seen the capital become the worst performing major city and region in the UK for solar adoption.

That is the conclusion of a new report released today by campaign group Greenpeace, which is calling on all of the London Mayoral candidates to come forward with a detailed plan to boost the city's flagging solar industry.
