IEA Wind TCP Task 53 Dissemination event: CfD Design for Large-Scale Wind Energy Deployment

This workshop brought together international researchers and practitioners to discuss the implications of emerging Contracts for Difference (CfD) design options and how their continued diffusion may reshape electricity markets. We shared insights on the latest policy developments related to the recent guidance on two-way CfD design. Practitioners contributed perspectives from industry and practice.
