In CfD Allocation Round 2 dedicated biomass and offshore wind cleared at the same strike price of £74.75MWh for delivery year 2021/22.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Administrative Strike Prices (ASPs) set out the maximum support that the Government is willing to offer developers for each technology in a given delivery year. In setting the ASPs, the government has drawn upon the latest generation cost data, while also considering market conditions, policy considerations and other technology specific factors in order to encourage new investment whilst ensuring value for money for consumers.<\/p>
<\/p>
The methodology used to determine the draft ASPs for the third allocation round is published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/contract-for-difference-cfd-third-allocation-round-methodology-used-to-set-administrative-strike-prices<\/a><\/p> <\/p> CfDs are awarded in a series of competitive auctions, with the lowest price bids being successful as a means of driving cost reduction and project efficiencies.<\/p>"}

The Strategy is available at the following link:<\/p> <\/p> https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/403231/Collaborative_TB_Strategy_for_England_2015_2020_.pdf<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The strategy aims to tackle TB in under-served populations through the commissioning of integrated, multidisciplinary, case management and support for under-served groups. This multidisciplinary support, which may include third sector organisations, should provide targeted outreach interventions, informed by proven models such as \u2018Find and Treat\u2019 in London, including specific services for active case finding among homeless people and those attending substance misuse services.<\/p> <\/p> In January 2016, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence published a clinical guideline that covers preventing, identifying and managing latent and active TB in children, young people and adults. This is available at the following link:<\/p> <\/p> https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng33<\/a><\/p> <\/p> In 2017, PHE and the National Health Service issued a \u2018TB Service Specification and Clinical Policy\u2019 for use by commissioners and TB services. This builds on the work of the strategy to:<\/p> - improve rapid diagnosis and treatment of active TB disease;<\/p> - prevention of TB by treating latent infections; and<\/p> - focus on complex cases with antimicrobial resistance and patients with other risk factors for poor treatment outcome, such as homelessness.<\/p> <\/p> NHS England is supporting those clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) with the highest burden of disease to provide latent TB testing and treatment programmes which are essential for reducing the incidence of active TB. In 2018/19, the 46 CCGs with the highest burden of disease were supported with £3,594,000 to provide this service.<\/p> <\/p> According to the latest annual report \u2018Tuberculosis in England: 2018\u2019 published by PHE, since the peak of TB incidence in England in 2011 the number of people notified with TB had fallen by nearly 40% in 2017. The incidence rate in 2017 was 9.2 per 100,000 population, the lowest recorded rate for England, which for the first time falls under the 10 per 100,000 World Health Organization definition of a low incidence country.
