CfD Stakeholder Bulletin — 14 January 2021

Contracts for Difference: Stakeholder Bulletin 14 January 2021 Contracts for Difference: Changes to Supply Chain Plans 1. Publication of Consultation on New Supply Chain Plan Questionnaire The government has published a CfD consultation today on a New Supply Chain Plan Questionnaire. The consultation is open for 8 weeks and will close on Thursday 11 March. On 24 November 2020 government released a consultation inviting views on proposed changes to the CfD Supply Chain Plan process for the next allocation round, including information on what developers will need to submit and when, the ongoing monitoring process and the approach to the assessment of developers’ supply chain plans. This new consultation on Supply Chain Plan questionnaires follows on from the previous consultation and outlines the government’s proposal to introduce a new Supply Chain Plan questionnaire to be completed as part of the Supply Chain Plan application. We welcome responses on any part of this consultation. Please respond online at: https://beisgovuk.citizenspace.com/clean-electricity/cfd-new-supply-chain-plan-questionnaire/ or email to BEISContractsforDifference@beis.gov.uk. 2. Extension to the Closing Date for the Consultation on Changes to Supply Chain Plans and the CfD Contract Due to the relationship between the two consultations, we have decided to extend the deadline for the CfD consultation, Changes to Supply Chain Plans and the CfD Contract, by 10 days from Monday 18 January to Thursday 28 January. The website has been updated to reflect this change. The deadline has been extended to allow time for stakeholders to review the Supply Chain Plan Questionnaire before responding to the related consultation on changes to the Supply Chain Plan process and CfD contract. The closing date for this consultation will now be 11.45pm on Thursday 28 January. Responses are welcome online at https://beisgovuk.citizenspace.com/clean-electricity/cfd-supply-chain-plans-and- contract/ or via email to BEISContractsforDifference@beis.gov.uk.
