The energy landscape in Great Britain is becoming increasingly complex. With ambitious 2030 capacity deployment objectives and a 2050 net zero target, the power sector is rapidly switching to a renewables dominated system. As a result of this transition, the electricity grid is increasingly impacting energy market participants and asset economics. Our new GB Grid Add-On product aims to provide comprehensive analysis of the GB network and quantify the value of location for both existing and new projects. By signing up, you will gain access to: 👉 Network Scenario Analysis: Quantify which areas of GB face the highest level of grid congestion, under different levels of network buildout 👉 Asset Economics: Explore the effect of location on different asset business cases 👉 Granular Analysis: Quantify the impact of the grid using granular modelling techniques, initially using an eight zone GB network model Interested in learning more?

The UK Contracts for Difference 6th allocation round results were announced yesterday. 🎙 As part of this round, 131 clean energy projects were secured ♻, marking a total of 9.6GW of renewable capacity. Our colleagues shared insights as the day progressed:👇
Associate - GB Power & Renewables Lead | Aurora Energy Research | Energy Markets | Imperial College London | MAHE |
It's been an exciting day for the GB energy sector with the announcement of the results from the latest Contracts for Difference (#CfD) - Allocation Round 6. At Aurora Energy Research, we've been busy analysing the results and sharing insights. I had the pleasure of speaking with Reuters, BBC News, and the Financial Times about our findings (links below). My colleagues have also shared some great insights in our ongoing mini-series on the results. To wrap up the series, I want to zoom out and reflect on what these results mean for Great Britain's journey to a net-zero power system: -> After last year's underperformance in Allocation Round 5, the adjustments in AR6—such as reinstating a separate pot for offshore wind, introducing market-reflective Administrative Strike Prices, and increasing budgets—have clearly boosted developer participation. In a challenging investment landscape, flexible CfD parameters are vital to attracting the capital needed to support the energy transition in GB. -> With 9.6GW of capacity procured, AR6 is the largest CfD round to date (once capacity reductions in AR4 are accounted), more than doubling last year's auction. This underscores the strong project pipeline in development, but maintaining market confidence requires clear and consistent policy. -> Beyond the 3.4GW of new-build fixed-bottom offshore wind, 400MW of floating offshore wind was also secured. If delivered, this will be the world’s first commercial-scale floating offshore wind farm, significantly increasing confidence in the technology class and solidifying GB’s leadership in offshore renewables. -> Despite these successes, we're still far from our targets. Additionally, when reviewing the progress made by past auction winners, it’s hard to miss the often multi-year delays in commissioning that are becoming frequent due to various bottlenecks in the delivery process. Ultimately, asset financing is only part of the challenge, and the ability to rapidly scale up upstream supply chains and critical infrastructure such as networks and grids is key to supporting project delivery.
