Renewable Energy: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how much funding his Department plans to provide for renewable energy projects through the Clean Industries Bonus in Northern Ireland in 2025.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Clean Industry Bonuses are to be awarded through a competitive process, with an initial budget of £27m per gigawatt of offshore and floating offshore capacity that applies for the bonus in the Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 7. Given the competitive process, we cannot guarantee or predict who will win funding, though of course offshore wind developers may invest in firms in Northern Ireland as part of the scheme.
