Aegir Insights has released an early take on UK CfD AR8

On 14 January, the biggest CfD-award ever in UK history was announced with 8.2 GW of fixed-bottom and close to 200 MW of floating offshore wind capacity.

Though it has not been long since the AR7 results have been published, swift developer responses indicate that many project owners are already evaluating their prospects in the next upcoming Allocation Round, AR8.

As attention turns to the next allocation round, Aegir Insights is publishing a new analysis today, providing an early view of what AR7 fixed-bottom results suggest ahead of AR8, including:

🔹The emerging AR8 competitive landscape for fixed-bottom offshore wind,

🔹An updated competitive merit order with estimated bid prices utilizing Aegir Quant™,

🔹And an assessment of developer portfolios and strategic fit under a potential AR8 win.

Aegir Insights’ clients have access to this analysis via the Aegir Intelligence Platform.
