The contract for difference (CfD) draft strike price for onshore wind will fall only modestly in 2018-19, to £95/MWh; for offshore wind the price will fall more sharply, to £135/MWh.

The government believes that CfD strike prices at these levels will deliver up to 16GW of offshore wind and 12GW of onshore wind by 2020.

Large-scale PV will receive £110/MWh in 2018/19, a level the government feels could deliver up to 3.2GW
