Power industry harnesses the wind of change

Lower subsidies for new turbines illustrate the huge strides being made off British shores

Emma Thompson welcomes the news that the price of offshore wind has fallen.
Renewable UK forecasts that prices will be significantly lower than the £92.50/MWh awarded to the Hinkley Point nuclear plant.

UK awards 3.2GW offshore – Dong Energy secured support for the almost 1.4GW Hornsea 2 off Yorkshire while EDPR and Engie won a CfD for the 950MW Moray 1 off northern Scotland. Both sites will come online in the 2022-23 delivery period at £57.50/MWh. Off-shore wind power is setting great pricing records. And it is predicted the pricing on these units will fall at least 50% more in the next decade or so. Who wants to place a bet that the UK doesn’t build the nuclear power plant at Hinkley?

A nice infographic of off-shore wind power evolution – this is getting headlines because of the prior article. UK off shore wind power is growing big – makes sense for an island surrounded by blustery conditions.

Dat is off-shore he.

De operationele kosten voor off-shore zijn stevig. On-shore is nog een pak lager. Maagoed: op zee is er bijna altijd wind, met hoge load factors ten gevolge en betrouwbare energievoorziening.

Wind gaat een grote rol spelen in onze energievoorziening. Een heel grote.

Logisch off shore.
Tot 15 MW per windmolen tegen 2020... 276 m hoge wieken...
Vandaag al 8 MW...

Ik ben niet tegen windenergie, maar we moeten wel de moeite willen doen om voldoende opslagcapaciteit te bouwen, of we blijven kloten met fossiele en kernenergie om de "magere periodes" te overbruggen.
