CfD Stakeholder Bulletin — 29 June 2021
Summary
DESNZ announces seminars on 13 and 30 July 2021 to explain Supply Chain Plan requirements for CfD applicants. The seminars cover application processes, monitoring, implementation assessment, and post-build reporting with pass/fail criteria. Government response to recent consultation on Supply Chain Plan questionnaire to be published shortly.
Why it matters
Administrative support for existing Supply Chain Plan requirements rather than policy change. The seminars suggest these requirements create compliance burden requiring detailed explanation, adding regulatory overhead without changing fundamental CfD economics.

- •Two seminar dates: 13 July 2021 and 30 July 2021, 2-4pm
- •Seminars cover pass/fail criteria for applications and implementation assessments
