A PROJECT which will bring enough clean Scottish electricity to England to power around two million homes has been given the go-ahead from Ofgem for a £3.4 billion funding package.
At the moment, what could be described as congestion on the grid means that wind farms that could be producing energy because it is windy have to shut down because there is not enough capacity to carry their power to places where it could be used.Because of the way that contracts with wind farms work, they are paid when they are asked to shut down because of such congestion.
It is the second such project to win approval from Ofgem under a new fast-track programme designed to help the UK connect all the wind farms it plans to build over the years to come. If all of these are built “by their optimal delivery dates,” Ofgem expects consumers to benefit to the tune of £2.1bn, in part because of the money saved by not having to pay wind farms to stand idle.
It warned that while offshore and underground cables are less likely to run into local opposition from people worried their views will be ruined, they are considerably more expensive than the alternative. She said that the framework Ofgem uses “helps ensure consumers are protected from unnecessary costs and we make budget adjustments where we don’t see maximum efficiency and benefit for consumers”.
