Contracts for Difference: Stakeholder Bulletin April 2020 CfD Allocation Round 4 Consultation Online Webinars The Consultation on proposed changes to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme ahead of the next allocation round is open for 12 weeks and will close on 22 May 2020. To help participants understand consultation proposals in more depth, and to offer consultees the opportunity to ask questions, BEIS will be hosting a series of online consultation events within the next few weeks. Due to current restrictions in place events will be hosted online, with further details sent to attendees in due course. Three online events will be hosted on the following dates: • Thursday 30 April 13:00 – 16:30 – This session will focus on proposals relevant to ‘established’ or ‘Pot 1’ technologies, including onshore wind, solar pv and hydro. • Monday 4 May 13:00 – 16:30 – This session will focus on proposals relevant to ‘less-established’ or ‘Pot 2’ technologies, including remote island wind, offshore wind and advanced conversion technologies. • Wednesday 6 May 10:00 – 12:30 – This supplementary session will cover proposals relevant to all technologies. If you would like to attend any of these events please email BEISContractsforDifference@beis.gov.uk letting us know which event(s) you wish to join. You will then later be sent an invite with instructions on how to join the online event. If you would like to register on behalf of any colleagues, please include any email addresses in your response or otherwise pass these instructions on. If you are unable to attend these events and would like further assistance in responding to the consultation please contact us at BEISContractsforDifference@beis.gov.uk.
