To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the effectiveness of the processes put in place by his Department to ensure that the Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 7 (a) is open and transparent and (b) will allocate contracts according to which bid achieves the highest value for money.

Asked by:
Nick Timothy (Conservative)

We are reviewing the Contracts for Difference scheme, as we do before every round, to ensure it continues to deliver value for money and all other objectives. We set out some of the changes to the scheme we are considering in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and will be consulting on these early next year. We will open Allocation Round 7 in the summer of 2025, and publish further details for the round in due course.
