UK renewables projects will compete for “pots” of support within two new bands of clean-energy technologies – “established” and “less established”– in the debut allocation round for the new mechanism, which starts in October.

Less-established technologies include offshore wind, wave and tidal, advanced conversion, anaerobic digestion, dedicated biomass with CHP, and geothermal.
