UK Government announces AR6 budget increase

The UK Government has today (July 31) announced an increase to the Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 6 (AR6) budget.

 

Claire Mack, Chief Executive of Scottish Renewables, said:  

“Heightened ambition for 2030 must be matched by bold action and the welcome increase to the Allocation Round 6 budget sends a positive signal to industry that the UK Government is serious about achieving its clean power mission.

“To maintain our globally competitive advantage, empower our supply chains and enrich our communities, it is essential that we enable deployment at pace across all clean energy technologies through the Contracts for Difference scheme.

“Unleashing the full potential of Scotland’s renewable energy pipeline, in particular floating and fixed offshore wind, will require building on Allocation Round 6 to maximise deployment through future allocation rounds.  

“This will drive economic growth, deliver energy security and achieve the UK Government’s clean power mission.”
