On 9 November 2016, we published information relating to the second Contracts for Difference (CFD) Allocation Round, which will open in April 2017. This included reconfirming the budget of £290m annual support for 15 years for \u2018Pot 2\u2019/less established technologies for projects starting to generate from 2021/22 or 2022/23.<\/p>
The CFD Counterparty Body - The Low Carbon Contracts Company - has published the CFD implementation plan, which sets out key indicative dates in relation to the second allocation round. The plan includes the shortest and longest likely duration from the allocation round opening to when contracts are awarded. This is approximately between 4 and 6 months depending on whether or not there are any reviews and appeals through the process.<\/p>
There are some variations from Round 1. The minima for wave and tidal, which applied to the 2015 CFD round, will not be extended as the expected costs for Wave and Tidal Stream remain high relative to other less expensive technologies in Pot 2.<\/p>
We have also introduced a temporary cumulative cap of 150MW (equivalent to a budget maximum of £70m) on fuelled technologies for this round. The Government believes that it is appropriate and proportionate to impose a temporary maxima while we review these technologies and consider the recent Call for Evidence on fuelled technologies in the CFD.<\/p>
<\/p>
Wave, tidal stream and fuelled technologies all remain eligible to compete in Pot 2 for CFD contracts, alongside geothermal and offshore wind, which will help to drive costs down.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/127", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Prior of Brampton"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/709517/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "CFD Implementation Plan V2 .pdf"} , "title" : "CFD Implementation Plan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-03-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-03-21T17:49:53.317Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-03-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Energy: Prices"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what are their plans for the next Contracts for Difference bidding round; when they expect the round to open for bids; when they expect it to close; when they expect to announce the winners; how much funding is available; and whether they intend to apply any new conditions, different from Round 1, and if so, what.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/497", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Blencathra"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Blencathra"} ], "uin" : "HL5924"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/709138", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/709138/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In 2014, the independent Graham Review into pre-pack administration commissioned by Government found that pre-packs were a useful business rescue tool but that there was evidence of less successful outcomes where the pre-pack sale was to a connected party. A voluntary, industry-led package of reforms to pre-pack administration based on the Graham Review\u2019s recommendations commenced in November 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 created a power for Government to make regulations to impose conditions on property sales to connected parties in administration (including via a pre-pack). This power expires in May 2020. Government will assess the impact of the voluntary package of reforms and consider whether further regulation is needed prior to the power\u2019s expiration.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/127", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Prior of Brampton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-03-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-03-20T16:20:23.157Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-03-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Insolvency"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether they will review pre-pack administration, in the light of reports that the system is being abused in relation to creditors and commercial property owners.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3869", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Myners"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Myners"} ], "uin" : "HL5833"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/708713", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/708713/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The industrial strategy includes measures to enable growth in all parts of the economy \u2013 for example through our commitments on science and innovation funding, skills, and digital infrastructure. In addition we have set out proposals for new, business-led sector deals, with the first set of deals already under development.<\/p>
