Julie Elliott – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julie Elliott on 2014-05-02.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what recent assessment his Department has made of the effect of contracts for difference auctioning on the quality of solar farms.
Gregory Barker
The eligibility criteria for solar farms under contracts for difference are set out in the Allocation Regulations. Any solar farm must meet these criteria in order to be able to apply for a CfD.
In April 2014 the Government published the Solar PV Strategy [1], which sets out that DECC will continue to work with industry, to promote industry best-practice for the development of solar farms.
