To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of setting a lower cap than £557 million on the funds allocated for future Contracts for Difference auctions.

No decisions have yet been made regarding the budget that will be made available in any particular auction.
