FELLOW subsidy-paying consumers may be interested to note that the
electrical output of the UK measured windfleet has been in near total
collapse for four of the last eight days.UK demand around 0900 today
(February 24) was just over 43GW and wind generation was 0.4GW and still
falling, providing only 0.93 per cent of our needs and in total collapse.
The installed capacity of the UK measured windfleet, built at huge expense,
is in excess of 12GW, which at full output would theoretically have
supplied around 30 per cent of this morning’s demand.
Our interconnectors to France and the Netherlands are again importing at
their maximum capacity of 3GW, which is 7.5 times more power than our total
home-produced wind generation.
When we remember that a significant percentage of the UK windfleet is now
offshore and is also therefore producing hee haw, it kills the myth that
offshore windfarms, somehow, will be our saviour.
