Responding to the Government’s announcement on the latest Contracts for Difference round, Energy UK’s chief executive Emma Pinchbeck said:
“The Contracts for Difference auctions have been instrumental in enabling the UK to become a world leader in renewable energy so the scale of this latest round is very welcome – as is the renewed inclusion of onshore wind and solar.
“Renewables are the cheapest form of power available, and they’re a massive UK success story, but we need more policy coming forward from Government to make sure that we build an energy system fit to power the future economy – the next step is surely an Energy Bill in this Parliament”
