Carlin, B. Wind farms'pushing up price of electricity. Daily Telegraph. 11/02/2005
Many wind farm operators are making huge profits as part of a Government environmental policy that is also pushing up electricity prices. It was suggested most onshore wind farms could operate on half the level of available subsidies. Wind farms and tidal barrages could add more than a £1 billion a year to electricity prices by the end of the decade The report is likely to increase concerns over the growth of onshore wind farms, especially in areas of natural beauty. also cast doubts on the cost of the Government's policy of reducing harmful emissions through encouraging electricity producers to use more and more renewable energy.
