These Regulations amend the Contracts for Difference (Definition of Eligible Generator) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2010) (“Eligible Generator Regulations”), the Electricity Market Reform (General) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2013) (“EMR Regulations”) and the Contracts for Difference (Allocation) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2011) (“Allocation Regulations”). These Regulations form part of the legislative framework underpinning the Contracts for Difference (CFD) scheme under section 6 of the Energy Act 2013. The CFD scheme is designed to encourage low carbon electricity generation by awarding subsidies accessed through a private law contract, which is secured in a competitive allocation round.
