£51 per Megawatt hour for coal and gas, £156 per Megawatt hour - TopicsExpress



          

£51 per Megawatt hour for coal and gas, £156 per Megawatt hour for offshore wind, around £100 per Megawatt hour for onshore wind. Also the quoted figure of 12.1 gigawatts is a theoretical figure that assumes ALL turbines are operating at 100% of the time, some turbines only operate for 5% of the time and no turbine operates at 100% as even offshore wind conditions are unpredictable. Other factors that increase the cost of wind is that traditional generations needs to be maintained and on standby which further adds to the cost of wind. They are a folly that Labour,T Blairs 50% reduction in CO2 and Milibands Climate Change Act and the Lib Dems, Ed Davy, have inflicted on us
