Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much solar energy has been contracted under the contract for difference scheme since 2015.
Two solar PV projects totalling nearly 23 MW are currently receiving support under the Contracts for Difference scheme. Details of the projects are in the table.
Project name | Location | Capacity (MW) | Date became operational |
Charity Farm | North Shropshire, England | 11.94 | 30/6/2016 |
Triangle Farm Solar Park | South East Cambridgeshire, England | 10.90 | 18/7/2017 |
A third solar project, Netley Landfill Solar, had its contract terminated following its failure to commission within the contractual deadline.
