Wind farm developers will abandon several smaller schemes as a result of cuts announced yesterday to the subsidies for onshore turbines, according to the wind industry trade body.

The Government redirected some of the subsidy previously earmarked for onshore turbines to offshore wind farms. Offshore turbines cost at least 50 per cent more per unit of electricity generated but are not as fiercely opposed by Conservative backbenchers.
