CfD Stakeholder Bulletin — 25 July 2022
Summary
DESNZ announced two seminars on CfD Supply Chain Plans for August and September 2022, covering the assessment process and questionnaire changes for AR5. The seminars target developers, suppliers and investors involved in CfD projects. Registration closes at 12pm on 19 August for the first session and 2 September for the second.
Why it matters
This is administrative guidance rather than policy change. The seminars provide clarity on existing Supply Chain Plan requirements but do not alter the fundamental mechanism that makes CfD awards conditional on domestic content commitments.
