据CNBC网站12月13日消息 英国政府表示，英国周一开始了迄今为止规模最大的可再生能源拍卖申请，共提供2.85亿英镑（3.7697亿美元）的资金，帮助实现其气候目标。

英国商业和能源大臣夸西·夸滕在一份声明中表示：“通过在英国生产更多的可再生能源，我们可以避免全球化石燃料价格波动，从而确保更大的能源独立性，同时降低新能源的成本。”

根据英国差价合约（CfD）计划，符合条件的项目可以获得最低的售电价格。

CfD合同在拍卖时提供给发电公司。

该计划于2014年启动，是英国政府鼓励低碳发电投资的主要方法，而最新的第四轮计划旨在通过更多的技术获得12吉瓦新产能。

政府表示，每年2亿英镑的最大资金用于海上风电，仅此一项就足以为约800万户家庭供电。另外7500万英镑用于新兴技术，其中2400万英镑用于海上风电项目，2000万英镑用于潮汐流项目。

该公司补充称，太阳能和陆上风能等成熟技术将获得1000万英镑的资金。

申请截止日期为2022年1月14日，预计拍卖的最终结果将于2022年春夏公布。英国政府补充称，最新一轮谈判有望帮助英国在2030年实现可再生能源装机容量从目前的10.4吉瓦提高到40吉瓦的目标。

UK Launches $376.9M a Year Renewables Auction Round

Britain on Monday opened applications for its biggest renewable energy auction round to date, offering 285 million pounds ($376.97 million) in funding to help deliver on its climate targets, the government said. 

"By generating more renewable energy in the UK, we can ensure greater energy independence by moving away from volatile global fossil fuel prices, all while driving down the cost of new energy," Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said in a statement. 

Under Britain's Contracts-for-Difference (CfD) scheme, qualifying projects are guaranteed a minimum price at which they can sell electricity. 

CfD contracts are offered to power generation companies at auction. 

The scheme, launched in 2014, is the government's primary method of encouraging investment in low-carbon generation in Britain and the latest, fourth round, aims to secure 12 gigawatt (GW) of new capacity across a wider number of technologies. 

At 200 million pounds a year, the largest funding is allocated for offshore wind, with the capacity resulting from this alone enough to power around 8 million homes, the government said. Another 75 million pounds are set aside for emerging technologies, with 24 million pounds ringfenced for floating offshore wind projects and 20 million pounds for tidal stream projects, it specified.  

Established technologies, such as solar and onshore wind, could receive 10 million pounds of funding, it added. 

Applications close on Jan. 14, 2022, with the final results of the auction expected to be announced in spring-summer 2022, it added. The latest round is expected to help Britain hit a target of 40 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030, up from 10.4 GW at present, the government added.
