Is Solar CfD Still Relevant?
In September 2023, the UK’s Solar Contracts for Difference (CfDs) set strike prices significantly below the market rate, prompting a discussion on their future effectiveness in promoting renewable energy. While these contracts have historically encouraged investment by guaranteeing prices for electricity generated, the recent price gap could potentially deter investors, affecting the solar sector’s growth towards its 2035 target. However, fluctuations in market prices and advancements in solar technology suggest a dynamic future, where CfDs may continue to play a stabilizing role. At Olsights, we provide comprehensive insights and tools to navigate the evolving landscape of solar energy, offering interactive dashboards for in-depth analysis of the techno-economic aspects and project finance of solar developments.
