#2026/678UK Contracts for Difference Allocation Amendment Regulations 2026
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This law adjusts the rules for the UK’s Contracts for Difference allocation process, which supports low-carbon electricity projects. It mainly changes how applicants can challenge non-qualification decisions and how evidence can be submitted during a review. It also allows the delivery body to correct certain errors in qualification notices, including issuing an amended non-qualification decision or changing a qualifying notice into a non-qualification decision where the allocation framework allows it. Renewable energy developers and other CfD applicants should check the applicable allocation framework closely, because it may set extra rules on evidence, correction notices, and review timelines.
