In UK’s last year CfD AR6 the GreenVolt floating project broke ground, and just last week, two new 1.5 GW projects to be developed by respectively Equinor and a EDF Renewables/ESB joint venture joined the UK pipeline via Crown Estate’s Leasing Round 5.

This summer’s UK CfD AR7, however, seems to favor smaller floating demonstration projects. With still many unknowns ahead of the application window, Aegir Insights assesses the floating competition amongst eligible bidders and project exposure to new entrants in a new Insights report.
