New North Sea windfarms to get multi-national connections...

Seems like an interesting idea ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp372d37gxgo

  • I'm wondering how the subsidy and support arrangements will work?

    Currently in GB, windfarms bid into the Contract for Difference (CfD) auctions to secure an inflation-linked, fixed price contract for their generation, paid for by GB consumers, on the basis that all the power is flowing into GB, benefitting GB consumers.

    Of course if that wind farm is now connected to two or more countries, with the power potentially flowing to different countries, varying continuously depending on wholesale prices, that's a much more complex question of how to determine where the power should flow, how that power should be valued and how the subsidy costs should be apportioned between the different countries and their consumers.

  • A free market. Hooray!
