The consultation closes on 7 March 2024.

Consultation webinar

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero will be holding a webinar on the above dates to talk through the consultation proposals and take any questions you may have. The same webinar will be held on both dates, so it is only necessary to attend one of the dates. 

You are welcome to submit questions in advance of the webinar to ContractsforDifference@energysecurity.gov.uk. 

The deadline for registration and advance questions is 29 January 2024.
