(24 November 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what his ambitions for tidal stream are in the upcoming renewable auction.

Asked by:
Jayne Kirkham (Labour)

Answer

Tidal stream continues to be eligible for our main support mechanism for low-carbon electricity, the Contracts for Difference scheme, through which over 120 MW of capacity has already been secured.

The parameters for Allocation Round 7 were published in July, and the budget for technologies including tidal stream will be confirmed later this year.
