Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what her policy is on enabling solar technologies to access the Contracts for Difference auction mechanism.
This question was answered on 9th September 2019
Solar PV has deployed successfully to date in the UK, with 13.5GW installed operational capacity as a result of government policy. Several solar projects are currently deploying without subsidy from the Government and we expect others may follow.
No decisions have been made on future Contracts for Difference allocation rounds for Pot 1 technologies, which include solar.
