This document provides insights for governments on evolving auction design strategy, covering the bene-fits, costs and considerations of introducing non-price criteria (NPC, also called non-price award or qualita-tive criteria) to an auction scheme for procurement of wind energy. It also provides a set of guidelines and guardrails for evaluating the effectiveness of NPC in various market conditions. There is an imperative to rapidly scale up wind energy capacity to meet the global goal of tripling renewable energy by 2030, agreed at COP28 in 2023. In this con-text, this paper supports policymakers in making careful and informed decisions regarding the adoption of NPC, to ensure that procurement frameworks can support large-scale, long-term and sustainable deployment of wind energy. KEY POINTS:• Dynamic cost environments, rising inflation and cost of capital, and a lack of coherent industrial strategies pose challenges to wind energy development and supply chain stability today, requiring flexible tender design and collaboration between government and industry. • Wind energy auctions should avoid fostering a ‘race to the bottom’ by focusing procurement criteria on attaining wind generation for the lowest possible cost, as this jeopardises long-term investment con-ditions for the continued deployment of wind energy and investment in supply chains.• Designing robust pre-qualification criteria for ten-ders and broader supply chain plans for the wind sector can support governments in responding to changing market conditions while maximising ener-gy transition benefits. • Some governments are further integrating NPC into renewable energy procurement schemes, exploring social, economic, and environmental criteria beyond price in auctions to recognise and maximise the val-ue obtained from renewable energy. NPC should be implemented in a consultative process between governments and industry, to adequately adapt auc-tion design to reflect government ambitions, sector capabilities, the wider cost environment and evolv-ing market conditions.• NPC can be broadly categorised under sustainabil-ity, system integration, and social impact factors. It would be more effective to apply NPC to offshore wind tenders rather than onshore wind tenders, due to the larger scale and longer planning timelines for offshore wind projects. In offshore wind tender pro-cesses, earlier application of NPC is preferred, e.g. at the seabed leasing stage
