We're building offshore wind to provide clean power, that will be cheaper than gas and we won't have to rely on largely autocratic countries for that gas

Got a long way to go as electricity is only a portion of our energy consumption - heating and transport are still largely fossil fuel based ATM

The cfd auctions are competitive on price, but things like clean industry bonus and supply chain plans expect some local content. You can’t compete on price and also use expensive UK suppliers.
