On the same day as the Energy White Paper, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) published a Call for Evidence titled
Enabling a High Renewable, Net Zero Electricity System. It got somewhat lost in the noise of the White Paper and then the end of the Brexit implementation period but it is open until 22 February so there is still plenty of time to respond.
SUMMARY
There's lots of food for thought in this Call for Evidence and it could eventually lead to a fundamental redesign of the Contract for Difference (CfD), which is the main scheme for supporting renewable energy projects. It won't affect the upcoming fourth Allocation Round due later this year (for more information on this see our article) but it is likely to mean changes to the CfD after that.
