#decarbonisation

Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are increasingly consolidating their position as one of the most effective tools for driving investment in renewable energy, guaranteeing stable prices and protecting both companies and consumers from electricity market volatility. Originally conceived as a public support mechanism for clean energy, CFDs provide predictable revenues for producers while promoting the decarbonisation of the energy system. Similar structures also exist in the free market, such as bilateral Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which can be designed following the same underlying model. In this article, we explain what CFDs are, how they work, their benefits and limitations and why they are set to play a key role in energy security and the transition to a more sustainable model, with particular focus on their application in Europe and Spain and Iberdrola’s leadership in this field.
