The UK government has unveiled a new “action plan” on green hydrogen with a “clear mission to drive investment certainty”, which is set to include new auction-based investment rounds and the potential introduction of a new additional subsidy for project developers.
The plan also incorporates the third and fourth rounds of the UK's core green hydrogen subsidy scheme, a Contracts for Difference auction system known as Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HARs), which the Labour government says it is aiming to launch in 2026 and 2028.
HAR3 and HAR4, as the rounds are known, had originally been planned to be launched in 2025 and 2026 by the previous Conservative government.
