The UK's Contracts for Difference scheme is the backbone of renewable energy investment, providing long-term price certainty to generators and driving billions of pounds of clean energy infrastructure. renDAQ makes that data searchable, comparable, and useful.
Every CfD awarded from AR1 (2015) through AR7 (2026) is tracked here: strike prices, contracted capacity, payment direction, generation output, and GHG avoided. Data is refreshed directly from the LCCC Data Portal.
Use the Projects page to drill into individual contracts, the Benchmarks page to compare strike prices across rounds and technologies, or the dashboard to see the current state of the portfolio at a glance.
Which projects are currently receiving top-up payments vs paying back to LCCC. Positive = generator receiving; Negative = generator paying back when market price exceeds strike price.
