country\u2019s reliance on volatile fossil fuels and lowering bills for good, by delivering a record-breaking offshore wind result in its latest renewables auction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results deliver the biggest single procurement of offshore wind energy in British and&nbsp; European history \u2013 confounding the global challenges facing the industry \u2013 a major vote of confidence in the UK\u2019s new era of energy sovereignty and abundance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Government inherited the fiasco of the previous government\u2019s failed Auction Round 5, in which not a single offshore wind project was secured. The last auction round,&nbsp;AR6, got the industry back on its feet. Now this auction round, known as Contracts for Difference&nbsp;AR7, has secured a record capacity of&nbsp;8.4 GW&nbsp;of offshore wind which will generate enough clean electricity to power the equivalent of 12 million homes. The ground-breaking result puts Britain firmly on track to achieve its clean power mission by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These results show offshore wind is cheaper to build and operate than new gas. In new figures published today using the&nbsp;LCOE&nbsp;industry metric, the cost of building and operating a new gas fired power station is \u00a3147 per megawatt hour. By contrast, the results for fixed offshore wind in today\u2019s auction were \u00a390.91 per megawatt hour on average \u2013 or \u00a365.25 in the commonly used benchmark of 2012 prices \u2013 40% cheaper than the cost of building and operating new gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This auction will unlock around \u00a322 billion in private investment, supporting around 7,000 jobs, bringing growth and good jobs to all regions of the country \u2013 and particularly to the country\u2019s industrial heartlands.

(It relates to the Emissions Trading Scheme, which could be torn up tomorrow, if the political will was there.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Government claim that offshore wind is 40% cheaper than gas implies a cost of gas power of about \u00a3150 per MWh. That is a fake claim, even if you allow for carbon costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simple reality is that the real cost of new gas power would be \u00a368 per MWh, around a quarter less than these new contracts for offshore wind. Of this, fuel costs account for \u00a345 per MWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second lie concerns the use of \u201c2024 prices\u201d, on which the \u201c90.91 per MWh\u201d price for offshore wind is based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has probably occurred to you that we are now in 2026! Since 2024, CPI has risen by 4.5%. As CfD strike prices are index linked, that \u201c\u00a390.91\u201d has already risen to about \u00a395 per MWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wholesale price in Q4 2025 was \u00a374.44 per MWh, according to the Government\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowcarboncontracts.uk\/resources\/scheme-dashboards\/cfd-historical-data-dashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Low Carbon Contracts Company<\/a>. Offshore wind will therefore be subsidised to the tune of \u00a320 per MWh at these prices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"287\" data-attachment-id=\"421389\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=421389\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-243.png?fit=750%2C298&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,298\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-243.png?fit=723%2C287&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-243.png?resize=723%2C287&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Line graph depicting historical data of CfD reference prices for offshore wind from 2017 to 2023, showing fluctuations in prices over time.\" class=\"wp-image-421389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-243.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-243.png?resize=300%2C119&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-243.png?resize=640%2C254&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"298\" data-attachment-id=\"421390\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=421390\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-244.png?fit=750%2C309&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,309\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-244.png?fit=723%2C298&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-244.png?resize=723%2C298&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Line graph showing data trends from Q1 2024 to Q1 2026 with steady fluctuations.\" class=\"wp-image-421390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-244.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-244.png?resize=300%2C124&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-244.png?resize=640%2C264&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, the Government admits as much, because the AR7 published results confirm that subsidies could top \u00a31.9 billion a year by the time all the schemes are operational.

The true comparison however should be with existing CCGT, as we already have under-utilised CCGTs. It is generation from these that new wind power will replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we have already paid for all of the fixed costs anyway, the only cost of producing additional electricity at CCGTs is the fuel cost, which as we have seen is around \u00a345 per MWh. That means the cost of sourcing power from these new wind farms will be about \u00a350 per MWh dearer than the gas power they are replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are tight on CCGT capacity and will need to construct new plants if older ones close as expected. But \u2013 crucially \u2013 we will have to do that anyway, whether we build new wind farms or not as gas will remain our back-up for intermittent renewables for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What Miliband wants is to spend tens of billions building offshore wind farms&nbsp;<em>in addition to<\/em>&nbsp;paying for that new gas capacity. It will not \u201clower bills for good\u201d, as the presa release blurb states. It will raise bills yet further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>First published on Paul Homewood\u2019s blog,&nbsp;<\/em><a
