A British wind farm owned by France’s state energy company is being paid to throw away half of the power it generates.
The Dorenell onshore wind farm in Scotland, owned by EDF, had 50pc of its output “curtailed” in 2024 because the UK’s national grid was too congested to accept it.
But the project was still paid for the electricity that wasn’t used, leading to bumper revenues of nearly £68m in the year, newly-published accounts show. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/08/29/wind-farm-shows-why-miliband-energy-bill-claims-wrong/?fbclid=IwY2xjawMfiftleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHqGHPXA_qPEsFVzHpN3CF2Ff9LU5KT64Zv2VlU3a6BgOFkQQ5DCNXPuxmyXE_aem_3engXkOvgIehOSh3nRPgGw
