New plan to shift wind farms from sea to land: Minister to offer cash incentives to companies to construct turbines offshore /The Daily Mail

Ministers are hoping to halt the creep of wind farms across the countryside by offering larger cash incentives to build them at sea.

George Osborne has secured a 5 per cent cut in wind power subsidies amid increasing concerns about the hostility turbines have caused in rural areas, and to head off a revolt by Tory MPs.

But the green levies paid to companies building them off the coast – and out of sight – will increase slightly in the coming years.
