<p>The Government has made significant progress in decarbonising the electricity sector.
Around a third (33%) of the electricity generated in 2018 came from renewables, up
from 29.3% in 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Support provided to renewables through a range of
policies such as the Renewables Obligation, the Feed-in Tariff, and Contracts for
Difference has resulted in a diverse mix of renewable technologies. This includes
wind, solar, hydro, bioenergy and more.</p><p> </p><p>In order to meet our net-zero
ambitions, we will continue to support the roll out of new renewables generation.
We announced last year our intention to hold CfD allocation rounds around every 2
years which could see 1-2 gigawatts of new offshore wind every year in the 2020s.</p>
