Offshore Wind at £57.50/MWh - Wind Power Companies and Bodies Lie to: Investors; Politicians; The Media; Environmentalists; The Public.


11 September 2017 - What a day for Offshore Wind

·         BBC News 24: Professor Grub - "...the energy revolution really did happen and this is the moment we knew it was working..."
·         'the guardian' Headline: Nuclear plans 'should be rethought after fall in offshore windfarm costs'
·         Caroline Lucas, Green Party Co-Leader: "...This massive price drop for offshore wind is a huge boost for the renewables industry and should be the nail in the coffin for new nuclear........Put simply, this news should be the death knell for Hinkley..."
·         Hugh McNeil, 'renewableUK' CEO: "...Both onshore and offshore wind are cheaper than gas and nuclear..."

Moray East Offshore Windfarm: Intermittent Electricity at a CfD price of £57.50/MWh for 15 years.


950,000 UK Homes [Surely that means in the 1st Year]  
[at 3,300 kWh p.a. each, that works out at a Capacity Factor of 36.67%]

But don't tell anyone:

"..The combined average of these measures is...... −1.6 ± 0.2% annual degradation.."

At the end of the 25 year lifespan of the windfarm, it's:
645,069 UK Homes 
[at 3,300 kWh p.a. each, that works out at a Capacity Factor of 25.58%]
On Average, over 25 years, that's:
788,131 UK Homes
[at 3,300 kWh p.a. each, that works out at a Capacity Factor of 31.25]
A 20% OVER-REPRESENTATION OF 
THE TRUTH 


And one might ask: Are the investors made aware that:
Income 1st Year: £180,262,500
Income 25th Year: £92,337,689

THEIR ANUUAL INCOME WILL DECLINE BY 49% BY THE END OF THE LIFESPAN !!!

Many problems
Wind turbines produce no usable electricity
They are a scam
They are asynchronous and only produce useless harmonics which through smart meters are fraudulently added to consumers power accounts
They should be shut down and people held to account for this gigantic hoax
