<p>On 19 October 2018, the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) announced that it had
terminated the contract for difference awarded to Station Yard CFD 1 during the second
Contracts for Difference (CfD) allocation round in 2017. Station Yard is a 0.05MW
Advanced Conversion Technology with Combined Heat and Power project located in Llangadog,
Carmarthenshire. The project’s contract was terminated because it failed to make sufficient
progress towards meeting its milestone requirement to demonstrate a commitment within
one year of signing a CfD to deliver the project. It is estimated that had Station
Yard been commissioned it would have received support of less than £70,000 (in 2017/18
prices) for electricity generated over the 15-year period of its contract.</p><p>
</p><p>A CfD is a private law contract between a generator and the LCCC, a government-owned
company. CfDs are managed independently by the LCCC and decisions as to whether a
generator has met its milestone requirement are for the LCCC. The milestone requirement
is a contractual requirement. Failure to meet this requirement may result in a CfD
being terminated.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is not aware of any other renewable
energy projects in receipt of funding from CfDs or other UK Government schemes that
have been cancelled in Wales during this time period.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
