answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2020 answer text <p>Renewable technologies will make a critical contribution to meeting our 2050 net zero commitment, alongside firm low carbon power such as nuclear and gas or biomass generation with carbon capture, usage and storage, and a significant increase in flexibility.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise that achieving our 2050 net zero target will require increased deployment across a range of technologies, including onshore wind. 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 late 2021 and aim to deliver up to double the renewable capacity of last year’s successful round, potentially providing enough clean energy for up to 10 million homes.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 09/12/2020 15:03:31 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
