Forecast CfD Generation and Reference Price

This dataset includes the hourly forecast CfD generation for the current and following operational quarters, by technology type. This generation is adjusted by TLM (Transmission Loss Multiplier), RQM (Renewable Qualifying Multiplier based on the renewable content of the fuels used for generation) and CHPQM (Combined Heat and Power Qualifying Multiplier to ensure that only generated output from low carbon sources which produce good CHP is eligible for CfD Payments)

This dataset is updated following the end of each Quarterly Obligation Period.
