Helm calls for CfD contracts to be renegotiated
Professor Sir Dieter Helm, the respected energy economist, has said the UK government will eventually need to “renege” on CfD contracts in order to restore competitiveness to the UK economy.

Middle class households to pay off £500m worth of energy debts
Millions of families will see their energy bills rise to help pay off the £4.4bn mountain of debt built up by Britain’s poorest homes. Ofgem on Thursday said it would wipe £500m of debt accumulated by 195,000 families during the energy crisis as part of a new plan to tackle the growing number of unpaid bills. The cost will be socialised across all households, with the average bill payer expected to see £5 added to their bills by 2027-28 as a result of the policy.

Victory for NZW! Miliband admits wind power is less reliable than expected
The Government has slashed forecasts for the amount of electricity it expects wind farms to generate in a blow to Ed Miliband’s net zero plans. In documents published before an auction of green energy subsidies this week, officials said they were revising down the predicted efficiency of wind turbines by more than a quarter as a result of “updated modelling”.
This week’s news is a big victory for NZW - which has been campaigning for years to force the UK Government to come clean about UK windfarm performance. Andrew Montford, Director of NZW, provided a comment to the Daily Mail here.
