@ed_birkett @garethmillerCE @Adam_Grant_Bell Pretty sure repowered sites are already eligible - Scottish Power Hagshaw Hill Wind farm Repowering site won a contract in AR4?

@NickiRenewable Are you telling me Grid wasn’t always cool?!

67,000 people responded & the results are the same as Govt's own polls - people overwhelmingly support onshore wind

This ECIU research from a few years ago feels as true today as it was then - 91% of MPs overestimate the opposition to onshore wind 👇

Would seem pretty unfair if my family in windy County Durham were denied the choice of lowering their energy bill with a local onshore wind farm because some MPs - like the one below, representing an area with low wind & no turbines - just didn't like them

There is 5.8GW of CONSENTED onshore wind projects in the UK...
Public acceptance is high, and it's one of the cheapest ways to generate electricity in the UK (six times cheaper than gas!)
No brainer... 👇

More cheap wind = less reliance on gas.
Read our latest blog on why accelerating onshore wind should form a key part of the UK’s energy supply strategy.

I would highly advise you to take this poll just so you can see the results so far!

[Sam Hall @samuelhall0]

Onshore wind is the cheapest new energy available. Given the pressing cost of living crisis & drive for more homegrown energy supplies, we need a planning regime for onshore wind that doesn’t block projects with local support going ahead in England. https://t.co/8Zfrvrm0Z6

[Nathan Bennett @nathansbennett]

If this is why Govt's undecided on onshore wind:

"One cabinet minister said that there shouldn’t be a rush towards onshore wind because it’s 'not cost-effective' & is 'extremely expensive'"

I have good news, it's not - it's extremely LOW cost

Big reason Kwasi's pushing for it

[RES @RESGroup]

Did you know that RES operates a Local Electricity Discount Scheme (LEDS)? It offers properties closest to participating #windfarms an annual discount on their #electricity bills⚡️! Last year payments of £750,000 were made, benefiting more than 4,000 households across the #UK🇬🇧💚

[ECIU @ECIU_UK]

Cheap #NetZero wind energy to pay back £26bn in future #gas crisis

UK’s investment in #renewables - supported by so-called ‘green levies’ on #energy bills - are ⬇️ electricity costs.
