Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Allocation Round 7 (AR7) budget details will be published shortly, before the bidding window opens.

Any decisions regarding the AR7 budget, including any minima, maxima or ringfences, are based on a wide range of factors, including an assessment of the pipeline of projects that could participate in the auction. The budget is set to help support effective competition in the CfD auction with the aim of delivering low carbon electricity deployment at low-cost to the consumer and supporting investment in emerging technologies.

The Government is undertaking analysis of the technology pipeline available for Contracts for Difference Auction Round 7 against our legal obligations.
