Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, when she will announce the results of the next round of Contracts for Difference auctions in the UK energy market; and if she will make a statement.

The Government will hold three Contracts for Difference (CfD) auctions in this Parliament with the next auction for less established technologies expected to take place by the end of 2016. We are currently working with HM Treasury to finalise the budget for future auctions and will set out more information in due course.
