<p>Onshore wind is a key part of the government’s strategy for low-cost decarbonisation
of the energy sector. Achieving net zero will require increased deployment across
a range of technologies, including onshore wind. Our recent Energy White Paper stated
that we will need sustained growth in the capacity of onshore wind over the next decade
alongside solar and offshore wind.</p><p> </p><p>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 December 2021 and aim to deliver up to double the renewable
capacity of the last successful round in 2019.</p>
