🌬️💡 UK Secures 9.58 GW of Renewable Energy in Record-Breaking CfD Auction 🌍🇬🇧

The UK government’s Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) has signed 130 contracts totaling 9.58 GW of renewable energy generation in the sixth round of the Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction, marking the largest allocation in the program's history. The projects span a variety of technologies, including offshore and onshore wind, solar, tidal, and floating offshore wind, with offshore wind accounting for approximately 5.3 GW of the awarded capacity.


Notable achievements include nine fixed-bottom offshore wind contracts totaling 4.9 GW and a single floating wind project, the Green Volt Offshore Windfarm, led by Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn. Once operational, the projects will bring the UK’s total CfD-backed renewable energy capacity to 34.74 GW. Among the significant projects is ScottishPower’s East Anglia Two Wind Farm, which will deliver 963 MW of clean energy by 2028/2029 and power nearly one million homes.
