More than £100 million has been added to UK customer’s energy bills since Labour came to power to stop wind farms producing power according to new analysis.
Between Keir Starmer taking office on July 5 and October 8 (the most recent date for which there was data before this story was filed), a total of £104,170,855 was paid to shut down wind farms across the UK, according to figures from the Renewable Energy Foundation (REF). The overwhelming majority of this total – a massive £100,393,530 – has been paid to wind farms in Scotland. Over the same period, just £3,627,847 was paid to stop energy production on English wind farms, and just £149,482 was paid to generators in Wales. More than £21 million was spent shutting wind farms down on just three days: £7,922,538 on September 10; £6,779,583 on August 22, and £6,465,620 on September 14. This money ultimately added to people’s energy bills. https://www.thenational.scot/news/24647342.100m-added-uk-energy-bills-pay-scottish-wind-farms-shut/?fbclid=IwY2xjawF4_AJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHU4HU0RRbhgOBx0TqmtNuSbPNH7WF3r-rI5ki7v8cKZHsgtyYDggpa5Htg_aem_8ctkUscb33-xau9TC3C7YA
