Summary
DESNZ published the timeline for CfD Allocation Round 4, with applications opening 13 December 2021 and closing 14 January 2022. The department provided both shortest and longest possible timescales for the round on a dedicated microsite.
Why it matters
Routine administrative notice that confirms process timing but changes no parameters or mechanisms. As such, this provides certainty for project developers planning applications but represents no change to the CfD allocation framework itself.
