Scotland’s wind farms are getting £19,000 in subsidies every hour, according to latest figures.
Since power subsidies were introduced in 2002, developers have been given £1.84billion, with household energy bills soaring to pay for it.
The figure i ncludes grossly inflated payments for energy fed into the National Grid, while millions of pounds have been paid out for no power at all.
Wind farms north of the Border have taken £27.2million in constraint payments – paid when they switch off their turbines during storms – since 2010.
