Frequently Asked Questions on Renewables, Hydrogen & Clean Power Regulations
How does the UK Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme support renewables?
The CfD scheme, operated by the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) under powers in the Energy Act 2013, provides long-term price certainty to renewable generators by guaranteeing a strike price; when wholesale prices fall below it, the generator receives a top-up payment.
How does the UK Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme support clean power?
Administered by the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC), the CfD scheme awards generators a 15-year private law contract with a fixed 'strike price' determined via competitive Allocation Rounds (ARs). If wholesale prices fall below the strike price, generators receive top-up payments; if above, they pay back the difference, providing long-term revenue certainty.
What is the UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Business Model (LCHBM)?
The LCHBM, supported by the Hydrogen Production Business Model (HPBM) under the Energy Act 2023, provides revenue support through long-term contracts subsidising the operational cost difference between producing electrolytic or CCUS-enabled low-carbon hydrogen and the natural gas benchmark price.
