£30million for wind turbines that don't work when it's windy: Cost is £25million higher than last year and paid for by household bills

Daily Mail
"Wind farms have been paid a record £30million this year to stand idle in bad weather. The cash, which comes from household bills, is paid when the National Grid is unable to cope with the extra power produced during high winds, or during periods of low demand. The ‘constraint payments’ have reached £30,424,169 this year, compared with last year’s £5million."
