## Notice

BEIS is seeking specialist advice for its forthcoming CfD auctions, AR4, to ensure that the auctions deliver value for money for consumers whilst securing sufficient renewable electricity generating capacity to meet BEIS' energy policy needs. As developers with CfD contracts are paid a top up on the wholesale electricity price, which is funded through consumer electricity bills, it is crucial auction design is robust.
