UK must look beyond wind power

Wind power is inconsistent and “must not be allowed to squeeze out other technologies that have more to offer”, according to a major new survey.

The best-performing wind sites are in north Scotland and on Shetland, where wind turbines are producing capacity factors of more than 50%.

The findings were published by the Renewable Energy Foundation, a charity sponsoring research into the adoption of renewable technology. They clearly show, for the first time, the successes and failures of the UK renewable sector.
