Solar Power Auction Prices Raised By 30%

The 30% increase in administrative strike prices for solar power, a 66% increase for onshore wind, and a 52% increase for floating onshore wind aim to restore confidence in the Contracts for Difference (CfD) regime.

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

There’s one more thing to note about this announcement:

As well as the massive price rises for offshore wind, prices have also been increased for solar power:

£61/MWh works out at about £85/MWh, which gives the lie to repeated claims of just how cheap solar power is.

It’s a lot to pay for something that despoils good farmland and does not even produce any electricity for most of the time.
