LONDON, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- The UK government on Wednesday said it had awarded record levels of state-backed subsidies for offshore wind projects in its latest renewable energy auction, as it moves to expand domestic clean power supply and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said around 8.4 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity won support under the government's Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme, making it the largest offshore wind auction ever held in the UK and in Europe.
