Solar Media analyst Josh Cornes explores how the most recent Contracts for Difference auction will affect the UK solar industry.

Analysis from Modo Energy has revealed that renewable energy projects awarded contracts under the Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round 6 (AR6) could facilitate 1.4GW of co-located battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Results released by DESNZ show that a total of 93 ground-based solar projects, with a combined capacity of 3.3GW, scored CfD support.

The government announced on 30 July that the budget for the sixth auction round (AR6) of the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme will see a £500 million increase, reaching £1.5 billion.
