The Government considers this approach will allow auction parameters to be set across pots in a way which better reflects project characteristics. Wave and tidal stream projects remain eligible to compete in pot 2 for CfD auctions. We will publish specific allocation round parameters in advance of the next auction; typically, five to six months in advance. This will include the details of whether any technology-specific minima will apply.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 13/01/2021 10:02:52 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
