The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) was established in 2014, as an independent limited company that is wholly owned by the Secretary of State forBusiness, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

It was established to be the Contracts for Difference (CfD)counterparty under the CfD regulations and the entity with whom successful energy generators sign a contract after an auction process, which is administered byNational Grid (ESO). So a Contract for Difference (CfD) is a private law contract between a low carbon electricity generator and the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC), which is a government-owned company.

UK renewable generators in the UK that meet eligibility requirements can apply for a CfD by submitting a form of ‘sealed bid’, so far the 4 auctions, or allocation rounds, have seen a range of different renewable technologies competing directly against each other for a contract. The LCCC host engagement events to helpandadvisestakeholders on thedetails of thecontract and the obligations required of the generator in the period leading up to the allocation round.

The LCCC works with generators, once contracts are signed, to take them through the variousmilestones that have to be met before thestart date of a project,after which point CfDpayments are determined and then paid by the LCCC for the duration of the contract term. It also provides advice to BEIS on the performance, developmentand potential evolution of theCfDscheme.
