Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Green Party). It was answered by Lord Callanan (Conservative) on Tuesday, 13 December 2022.
Renewable Energy: Generation Licences
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty’s Government what plans they have to increase the number of renewable energy generation licences.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the acceleration in renewable deployment will be supported by the UK’s main renewable energy scheme, contracts for difference. The latest round delivered almost 11 gigawatts of new renewable projects, almost double that achieved in the previous round. The next CfD round will be brought forward to March 2023, and future rounds will run annually to further drive deployment of renewable power. The majority of CfD applicants are exempt from the requirement to hold a generation licence.
