Wind Farms Harvest £25 Million For Sweet F.A.
Wind farms are receiving millions of pounds to shut down when the weather is too windy, The Times has learnt. Dozens of onshore facilities shared £25 million last year, a 13,733 per cent increase on 2010, after a particularly blustery year, according to the figures released by National Grid. The payments to stop operating are made by National Grid because it cannot cope with the amount of power being fed on to the system when it is very windy. Ultimately, the cost of being shut down is passed on to households because National Grid charges energy suppliers, who add the levy to bills.
