Govt Quietly Drops Promises Of Cheap Renewable Energy
APRIL 18, 2023

It looks like the government is opening the door for higher prices for renewables:
Government seeking views on introducing Contracts for Difference reforms rewarding applicants for including factors not only based on price in projects.
Potential reforms to Contracts for Difference could mean applicants would be rewarded for including wider benefits their projects could bring when submitting price bids to government for their low-carbon electricity
these ‘non-price factors’ could include supply chain sustainability, addressing skills gaps and innovation, help drive investment in the sector and boost country’s energy security
today’s step builds plans to create a more secure energy future and grow our economy, by supporting thriving green industries and high quality jobs
