ARCHIVED: This Practice Note has been archived and is not maintained. How are contracts for difference (CfD) and the renewables obligation (RO) connected? The renewables obligation (RO) is designed to stimulate investment in renewable generation. It achieves this by placing a duty on customer-facing electricity suppliers—who obtain electricity from generators, whether directly or indirectly—to procure an ever-increasing share of their wholesale supply from renewable sources. The Secretary of State (SoS) for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) determines the proportion required each period. Suppliers prove compliance by submitting renewable obligation certificates (ROCs) to the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem). New ROCs are issued solely to accredited renewable generators, encouraging suppliers to purchase renewable output (together with separately priced ROCs) from such projects, thereby delivering a degree of financial support to those developments. For further details, see Practice Note: Renewables Obligation (RO)—accreditation of renewable electricity generators [Archived]. On 31 March 2017, the RO closed to most categories of new generation. The RO will continue to...
