British government announces biggest round of its renewable energy plan
Under the so-called Contracts-for-Difference (CfD) scheme, qualifying projects are guaranteed a minimum price at which they can sell electricity, and renewable power generators bid for CfD contracts in a round of auctions.
The scheme is part of Britain's plans to cut emissions before it hosts the United Nations' Climate Change conference, or COP26, in Scotland in November.
The government said, the latest round provides 200 million pounds ($277 million) to support offshore wind projects and 55 million pounds for emerging renewable technologies.
