How this is built
Two records sit behind this page, kept apart on purpose: rounds that have been held, with the results as they were published, and rounds that are announced but not yet run, together with the targets governments have set. Both are the same records that drive a project page, so a figure here and a figure there cannot disagree. Three auction systems sit side by side: offtake (CfD / OREC / power contracts), seabed (lease auctions), and integrated tenders. The headline-price column normalises the three designs to one figure per round: a CfD/OREC strike (currency & price-base year shown), a seabed option-fee total, or a tender outcome. Forecast dates are coarse by rule (a real upcoming auction is "2027", not a day). Every round links to a vault-anchored primary source in the underlying data.
An auction is one mechanism on one or two of the three gates a project clears to reach market (origination, seabed rights, offtake) — the full route-to-market pathway per market is part of the Research section, currently being rebuilt.
