A draft indicative timeline for Allocation Round 5 (AR5) has been published on the Contracts for Difference (CfD) microsite. As announced in February 2022, CfD rounds will now run annually, instead of every two years. It is planned for AR5 to get underway in March 2023.  

This is an indicative timeline that sets out the key milestones for AR5. Timings may be subject to change and a final timeline will be published in due course.
