Vattenfall awarded Contracts for Difference for around 100 MW of new wind and solar
Vattenfall has secured a CfD for two projects in the latest Allocation Round for low-carbon electricity contracts run by the UK Government.
Clashindarroch II Onshore Wind Farm near Huntly in Aberdeenshire, along with Kemberton Solar Farm near Telford, will provide around 100MW of new renewables capacity once constructed.
Today’s announcement enables Vattenfall to take a major step towards helping the UK Government deliver on their net zero targets whilst providing low-cost renewable electricity to homes and businesses across the UK.
Vattenfall's Head of UK Onshore Development, Frank
Elsworth, said:
“We’re committed to ending the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels and helping the UK Government reach its ambitious targets. Winning a CfD for both Clashindarroch II Wind Farm and Kemberton Solar Farm bring this reality one step closer.
“Onshore wind and solar can be deployed quickly, helping to improve our energy security, stabilising energy bills and enabling us to meet our climate targets. These projects also unlock opportunities for supply chain and community benefits in local communities up and down the country.“
