The UK government has issued a call for evidence from the renewables sector on how the country can quadruple green generation by 2050.
The consultation is seeking a slew of data from developers and stakeholders on how renewables deployment can ensure net zero is achieved, how costs are minimised for consumers and how support can be given to innovative technologies and business models.
“The information that we receive will help us develop our existing large scale renewable support mechanism, the Contracts for Difference scheme, and allow us to consider how our wider policy instruments and the markets they operate in can facilitate a move to a low cost, low carbon power system,” the government said.
“We are looking to understand more about how projects will derive revenue and the security of that revenue, what the impacts of increasing amounts of low marginal cost generation will be and how these will change over time.”
Interested parties have until 22 February to respond.
