Energy watchdog Ofgem has revealed that despite opposition to onshore wind power it added less to energy bills than imported gas last year - which critics argue "dominates" the UK energy market.
Ofgem's Renewables Obligation (RO) annual report for 2010/11, published today (March 14) shows that onshore wind added just £4.68 to the annual UK energy bill - an increase of 0.5%. In contrast, imported gas added about £120 to energy bills - an increase of more than 10%. In total Renewables Obligation (RO) was shown to increase a UK household annual bill by £15.15.http://www.edie.net/news/news_story.asp?id=22071
