<p>As set out in the Net Zero Strategy, a low-cost, net zero consistent, electricity
system is most likely to be composed predominantly of wind and solar, complemented
by other low carbon generation technologies such as nuclear and power CCUS to ensure
security of supply and a significant increase in flexibility.</p><p> </p><p>However,
as set out in the Energy White Paper a sustained increase of locally supported onshore
wind in the 2020s and beyond will be required to meet out Carbon Budget 6 target.
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, opening
in December 2021. Government is seeking up to 5GW of capacity from established renewables
technologies, with a £10m budget, which will support investment in all parts of Great
Britain.</p>
