The Government mechanisms for incentivising deployment of renewable electricity are generation-based. This means that support is granted on the basis of each megawatt-hour of electricity actually generated by stations which qualify for accreditation under a scheme or which secure a contract for difference (CfD) to provide support. No scheme offers financial support for the development of generating stations.
