	answer text	<p>We are pleased that the costs of established technologies such as onshore wind and solar are continuing to fall and are increasingly competitive with conventional generation. No decision has been taken on running another Contracts for Difference allocation round for these technologies but we have said that we do not believe that more large-scale onshore wind power is right for England.</p><p>It is right that we should focus support on those technologies where it is most needed, which is why we announced in the Clean Growth Strategy that we would make up to £557 million of annual funding available for less established technologies including, subject to State aid approval, onshore wind projects on remote islands that directly benefit local communities. The next auction is planned for spring 2019.</p>
