<p>Renewable technologies will make a critical contribution to meeting our 2050 net
zero commitment, alongside firm low carbon power such as nuclear and gas or biomass
generation with carbon capture, usage and storage, and a significant increase in flexibility.</p><p>
</p><p>We recognise that achieving our 2050 net zero target will require increased
deployment across a range of technologies, including onshore wind. This is why we
announced on 2 March 2020 that onshore wind and other established renewable technologies
such as solar PV will be able to compete in the next Contracts for Difference (CfD)
allocation round. The round will open in late 2021 and aim to deliver up to double
the renewable capacity of last year’s successful round, potentially providing enough
clean energy for up to 10 million homes.</p>
