The Urgent Need to Reform Contracts for Difference in Renewable Energy ♻️ Why is the UK’s current Contracts for Difference system failing to meet ambitious renewable energy targets and the urgent reforms needed to ensure a sustainable energy future? As the climate crisis intensifies, the UK finds itself at a turning point in its renewable energy transition. Recent analyses, including a critical report from Cornwall Insight, reveal alarming projections: to meet our clean power targets by the decade’s end, public subsidies for developers of wind and solar farms must at least double from this year’s record levels. This stark reality highlights a fundamental flaw in the current Contracts for Difference (CfD) framework, which, if left unaddressed, risks derailing the UK’s ambitious energy goals. To find out about: 👉 The Inadequacy of Current Contracts for Difference 👉 Government Inaction and the Need for Urgent Reform 👉 A Path Forward: Key Reforms Needed Read below https://lnkd.in/gcZrXsar Curia’s Clean Energy and Environment Research Group has written to the Government as part of their consultation to set out their thoughts for reform of the CfD system.
