Wind Power: Subsidies
(asked on 3rd July 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the abolition of subsidies for onshore wind.
This question was answered on 12th July 2018
Onshore wind has deployed very successfully to date – over 12.9GW of installed onshore wind capacity is now operational in the UK. The Government monitors the costs and deployment of onshore wind along with other metrics as part of its ongoing energy policy development and evaluation process. The Government does not believe that new large scale onshore wind power is right for England, but it could be right for other areas, where local public support exists.
