Solar farms are forecast to house the greatest nameplate capacity of any energy source in Great Britain by 2050. Installed nameplate capacity of solar energy farms is expected to reach nearly 43 gigawatts, while cumulative capacity of offshore wind turbines would reach 39.8 gigawatts. Offshore wind farms are expected to be the greatest contributor to electricity generation in Great Britain by 2050.
