Understanding Contracts for Difference (CfD) is becoming increasingly important for businesses as the UK accelerates its shift towards clean energy.

In my latest video series, I break down how the scheme works, what happened in the most recent auction round, and - most importantly - the growing cost implications for organisations.

If you’re looking for a clear, practical overview of CfD - and insight into why electricity costs are set to rise - this series brings together everything you need to know in one place.

On Thursday 15 April between 10:00am and 11:00am, we'll be taking a deeper look at CfDs in our latest energy news and policy update - including the budget impact for UK businesses over the next five years. You can register here.
