CfD Stakeholder Bulletin — 14 December 2023
Summary
DESNZ issued a survey seeking feedback on whether to hold an in-person engagement event for CfD Allocation Round 6, with responses required by 5 January 2024. The previous two allocation rounds used remote engagement events. This is an administrative notice about event planning, not policy development.
Why it matters
Administrative convenience that has no bearing on CfD parameters, eligibility, or strike prices. The engagement format affects industry access to information but not the scheme's economic structure.
Key facts
- •Survey closes 5 January 2024
- •Previous two allocation rounds held remotely
