Government Publishes AR8 Supply Chain Plan Guidance for Solar Technology

The government has published Supply Chain Plan Guidance and Questionnaire linked to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round 8.

Applicants for solar generating stations of 300 megawatts or more will be required to submit a Supply Chain Plan to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero in order to qualify for the CfD allocation round. 

For onshore wind, the requirements associated with this technology will be confirmed as part of the AR8 Clean Industry Bonus government response later this year.

Timelines for when the application window will take place will be communicated in due course through the publication of a notice.  

More details are available on the GOV.UK AR8 Supply Chain Plan Guidance for Solar Applicants page.
