UK awards contracts for 131 clean energy projects

The UK has awarded contracts for 131 clean energy projects, totaling 9.6 gigawatts, in its latest auction, which could power 11 million homes. This marks a significant recovery from last year's auction, where no bids were received. Offshore wind projects secured contracts at prices ranging from £54.23 to £58.87 per MWh, up from £37.35 in 2022. The government aims for net zero power by 2030.
