<p>The Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme has been successful in bringing forward
renewable generation whilst also reducing the costs of technology and since its inception
has become established as a route to bring forward investment at scale. As set out
in my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Ministers’ Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution,
we have committed to holding regular CfD allocation rounds approximately every two
years, and the next round will open in December 2021. The Department continues to
keep the scheme under review to ensure it maintains a focus on investment certainty
and stability to enable renewable deployment at scale. We recently concluded a Call
for Evidence on this topic, seeking views to inform the future design and evolution
of the CfD and will publish a response shortly.</p>
