We plan to re-assess the likely deployment ranges for all low carbon technologies, including that for large scale solar PV, in the 2015 update to the electricity market reform delivery plan. We will consider the amount of small-scale solar deployed to-date as part of the feed-in tariff scheme review planned for 2015.
