The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of making commercially viable decarbonisation solutions available.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme is our flagship programme for deploying renewables. We have introduced a suite of reforms to the scheme, which are vital to our mission to make the UK a clean energy superpower. The reforms are intended to balance the need for significant renewables deployment to deliver an independent and clean power system, whilst minimising costs to consumers.
