Renewable Energy

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to explore strategies to diversify energy sources in renewable energy technologies.

Answer

The Government supports new renewable electricity deployment through the Contracts for Difference scheme, which has awarded contracts across a range of technologies and helped to diversify renewable energy sources. For example, floating offshore wind and tidal flow schemes were successful in the 2022 allocation round. Companies wishing to develop novel technologies can also apply to the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund for innovation and development grant funding.
