Changes announced ahead of seventh Contract for Difference (CfD) allocation round widely viewed as key to achieving ...

Pot 2 CfDs and a new Pot 3? A Pot 2 CfD auction is also planned for 2021 for less established technologies (which include AD, biomass, offshore and remote island wind as well as wave / tidal stream).

Fact check: Many wind power auctions set prices below the current market price - Wind farms sign a contract which guarantees them a set price for every unit of electricity they produce.

However, the current tender and support regime for offshore wind in Germany struggles to cope with zero subsidy bids and high electricity prices.

Simulations with computational fluid dynamics show aerodynamic and loading effects on everything from a single turbine to complete wind farms.

The wind in front of the current storms blows from the southeast and then south. With the south wind, the southern Lake Michigan shoreline of the U.P. will be eaten away by waves.

The latest contracts for difference (CfD) round has seen no bids submitted by the offshore wind industry, in what is being called a ‘monumental failure’ of the UK government.
