We have amended the contract documents for AR7/AR7a to ensure that the contract terms reflect government policy as set out in recent government responses to AR7 policy consultations published on 伊人直播.
The main amendments are:
- in all documents where required, the provisions in respect of the contract Term have been corrected to allow for 20 year contracts to be allocated to all wind technologies and solar PV
- in all documents where required, the Base Year has been amended to 2024
- in all documents, the Milestone Requirement that requires that all Relevant Applicable Planning Consents are secured by the Milestone Delivery Date (Technology-Specific Project Commitments) are amended to clarify that this requirement applies to Unconsented Projects only
- in the 6 phased offshore wind projects
- the definition of 鈥淟ongstop Period鈥� has been amended to instruct the CfD Counterparty to insert the correct Longstop Period as specified in Table H of the CfD Standard Terms Notice
- provision is added to enable the CfD Counterparty to insert whether or not a project is an Unconsented Project
- in phase 1 of the Apportioned and Single phased metering contracts, the provisions relating to the 鈥淢ilestone Requirement Notice鈥� have been amended to ensure that requirement applies to both the Project Commitments and 10% spend route when evidencing fulfilment of a Milestone Requirement
