Energy projects get contracts
Western Mail
|February 12, 2026
THE largest ever number of renewable energy projects in Wales to be awarded guaranteed prices for energy generated through a UK Government auction has been confirmed.
The 20 projects, with a capacity to produce more than 530 megawatts of green electricity and which range from solar to tidal and onshore wind, can now move to the delivery stage.
They have received contracts for difference (CfD) awards in the latest auction (allocation round 7) from the Westminster government. They consist of five onshore wind, 12 solar and three tidal energy projects. A CfD is a contractual guarantee for the price of the electricity generated to ensure commercial viability. If market prices rise there is a claw back mechanism for the government. Wales secured 99.65% of all the tidal funding available.
