Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate he has made of the amount of large-scale solar PV that will be deployed in 2015-16 under Contracts for Difference; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 20th October 2014
The amount that deploys under Contracts for Difference (CfDs) will depend on the strike price at which CfDs are awarded (the auction clearing price), as well as the mix of technologies amongst the successful bidders. The allocation round is currently underway for CfDs and DECC is not in a position to predict the outcome of the CfD auctions.
