answer text <p>As set out in the accompanying note to the Budget Notice[1], the reference prices we use for the CfD budget are an output from the Department’s main power model and are characteristic of decarbonisation pathways that are net-zero consistent. Wholesale electricity prices are driven by many factors including electricity demand profiles, the plants that generate to meet this demand, as well as fuel price assumptions and carbon price assumptions. Changes in reference prices between rounds depend on the assumptions used in power modelling and the delivery years for each allocation round.</p><p> </p><p>[1] The accompanying note to the Budget Notice can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcontracts-for-difference-cfd-allocation-round-6-statutory-notices&amp;data=05%7C02%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7C9ba5023041b04ec6760908dc692d94b9%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638500891684410764%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=WunRH0cV5boaGDFHmPM1SJU%2BmksN%2FI1bxKETyzzMG1A%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/contracts-for-difference-cfd-allocation-round-6-statutory-notices</a></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The reference prices we use for the Contracts for Difference budget are an output from the Department’s main power model and are characteristic of decarbonisation pathways that are net-zero consistent.</p><p> </p><p>Budgets are set based on a wide range of factors such as an assessment of the pipeline of projects that could participate in the auction, rather than being a pre-determined monetary constraint. If reference prices were higher or lower, the budget would change accordingly, and approximately the same capacity would likely be successful in the auction.</p> more like this
