CleanEarth Energy, long-standing provider of full circle renewable energy solutions, has secured Contract for Difference support in the latest round of government contracts for the largest onshore wind farm project to be built in England since 2015.
A Contract for Difference (CfD) is a private contract between the government-owned Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) and a low carbon electricity generator. To be awarded this during Allocation Round 7 signifies the meaningful governmental support being put behind wind energy in England, and CleanEarth’s key role in developing the UK’s evolving energy mix.
CleanEarth’s wind farm project, located on industrial, low-quality land within the mining area of central Cornwall, will generate 60GWh annually – equivalent to the output of solar utilising approximately 350 acres – making a significant contribution to a low carbon environment.
As Simon Virley, head of KPMG Energy confirms, onshore wind and solar remain the cheapest large-scale renewables available – well below the costs of offshore wind, new build gas, or new nuclear.
Energisation of the project, due later in 2026, will be the realisation of many years of combined effort between Imerys and CleanEarth.
CleanEarth, based in Cornwall, UK, are proud to help contribute to a reduction in UK energy costs.
