Energy bills to rise to help Scottish wind farms, report warns – Telegraph

HIGHER BILLS and more pressure on remote Scottish landscapes from wind farm speculators – WHAT IS GOING ON?

“But NERA’s analysis says that between now and 2030 consumers face a total added cost of £3.4bn, or £9 per home.
It finds that the planned reforms offer wind farms unduly high discounts that would not reflect their actual costs to the grid.
“This distortion would tend to cause too much investment in wind generation in Scotland compared to the level that is economically efficient, and thus drive up transmission system costs,” it says.”
