In the UK, the green paradox comes at a high price: from October, household energy bills will rise by 2%, pushing the typical annual cost to £1,755.
The regulator Ofgem admits that much of the increase comes from “electricity balancing costs”: paying wind farms to switch off, because their power cannot travel to where it is needed, and firing up gas plants closer to consumers. The result: a bill of £814 million in 2025, compared with £631 million last year.
The British irony: “clean energy” you pay for not to be used.
The rest of the rise (£17 per household) funds the government’s Warm Homes Discount scheme, expanded to 6 million vulnerable families.
So: more taxes, higher bills, more paid blackouts.
Wind energy… with a bill cast in lead.
