More renewable technologies allowed in UK's fourth CfD auction

摘要

The fourth round of the UK's Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme ?to open in late 2021 ?will aim to double the capacity of renewable energy compared to the last round and expand the number of technologies supported, with offshore wind, onshore wind, solar, tidal and floating offshore wind projects all eligible to bid, the UK government announced November 24. The fourth round aims to increase the capacity of renewable energy from the 5.8 GW achieved in the last round to up to 12 GW, which could be enough to power 20 million electric cars on the UK's roads in any year.
