One turbine per kettle?

Bishop Hill in Energy: wind

The Telegraph is on top form today, looking at the detailed wind power data and finding some horrific results:

The Telegraph examined a snapshot of RWE’s own figures on Thursday afternoon last week. One wind farm Trysglwyn, which is in Anglesey in Wales, was producing a total of 6 kilowatts (KW) - just enough to boil two kettles each with 3KW of power.

The wind farm has 14 turbines and a theoretical capacity of 5.6 megawatts (MW). In other words, the wind farm was producing just 0.001 per cent of its maximum capacity.

And, even worse, some windfarms were withdrawing power from the grid:

According to RWE’s own data, three wind farms on Thursday afternoon appeared to be taking electricity from the National Grid rather than supplying it.

That the political establishment has imposed this kind of corruption on the country will not go unnoticed forever. It will haunt the big three political parties for generations.
