Germany's gas use is set to rise even further:

Germany Goes On LNG Import Terminal Building Spree.

The five LNG import terminals will provide Germany with an import capacity of 70.7 million tons of liquefied gas annually by 2030.

5/6 (…contd.)

Here's how the LCCC expects CfD strike prices to evolve from now to 2040/41.

The chart shows the forecast strike price averaged over all technologies and all Allocation Rounds, and the forecast wholesale price.

Strike prices are CPI-linked, but are shown here in constant 2025 money.

4/4 (…contd.)

Here's the technology-averaged CfD subsidy (i.e. the difference between the CfD Strike Price and the Market Reference Price) and the forecast average generation, by technology type, for Q2 2026.
(HPC also shown for reference).

Here are the forecast technology-averaged CfD strike prices for offshore wind, onshore wind and solar PV for the most recent four quarters (CPI-adjusted).

👇

2/2

Solar PV has had a negative CfD subsidy in recent quarters,

but for Q2 2026
its average CfD strike price is
£68.00/MWh,

whereas its forecast average Market Reference Price is lower, at
£63.54/MWh

so it now has a positive CfD subsidy, along with all other technologies.

5/5

Offshore wind in the UK will not hit an area limit, ever.

There is far more sea area than will ever be needed for UK generating capacity.

There's plenty of scope for cost-optimising location versus grid access costs.
