263. Government will also need to make sure that the wider regulatory framework enables and, where appropriate, promotes the use of renewable energy. Building standards could for example be used to make rooftop solar the norm for all new buildings, potentially starting with public and other suitable buildings. For example, France and parts of Germany have made solar panels mandatory for new car parks.
264. For certain technologies, there may also be specific regulatory issues. For example, there is the potential risk of wind turbines interfering with aviation radar. Businesses pointed to the joint Ministry of Defence and industry roadmap to ensure coexistence between offshore wind and military aviation, highlighting the need for this work to continue at pace as well as to be extended to civil aviation. In order to prevent these issues from slowing down renewable deployment, the Government should work with all stakeholders to identify viable compromises as soon as possible.
