The UK government has pledged £557M to creating ‘clean electricity’. This will involve finding a number of renewable energy projects as part of the Clean Growth Strategy Launch. The Clean Electricity


Auctions have certainly been successful in the past, with the last auction seeing the cost of offshore wind halving. Through this public process, the UK has already secured renewable energy to power more than 3.6M homes.


Energy Minister Richard


Harrington has publicly confirmed the funding following the news that the UK is decarbonising faster than any other G20 nations. The UK’s emissions are said


to be down by 33% from 1990 levels, while the economy has grown by two thirds. Renewable energy has hit new highs this year with National Grid confirming

that low carbon generation provided more than half (52%) our electricity this Summer 2017. The government’s Clean Growth Strategy has been designed to drive economic growth and ‘clean up the energy system’. It will ensure the UK can benefit from new technologies, jobs and businesses which offer real consumer benefits to both the environment and the economy. Developers can compete for up to £557M of funding in Contracts for Difference


auctions. These have been established to drive down energy costs for consumers and increase business confidence. The latest auction saw the cost of new offshore wind fall by 50% compared to the first auction held in 2015 and resulted in over 3GW of new generation which could power 3.6 million homes. Energy Minister Richard


Harrington has commented: “The Government’s Clean Growth Strategy will set out how the whole of the UK can benefit from the global move to a low carbon economy. “We’ve shown - beyond


doubt - that renewable energy projects are an effective way to cut our emissions, while creating thousands of good jobs and attracting billions of pounds worth of investment.” The next UK Contracts


for Difference auction is planned for Spring 2019.
