UK and Ireland announce deal connecting offshore windfarms to energy networks

9 comments

1. Ireland has 1 offshore wind farm that produces 25MW.

   Labour are truly the masters of negotiating incredible deals.

2. Every windfarm announcement is pure guff anyway, since when it is actually windy enough in this country to generate so much spare energy that it can no longer be effectively metered, the private energy firms disconnect the turbines from the grid, and the government pays them compensation for ‘lost earnings’ during the downtime period.

3. Let’s see what innovative ways people will find to blame Starmer based on this article.

4. Groundbreaking deal – however we’ll still be paying the highest prices for electricity in the world!

   Absolutely sickening how fucked our utilities pricing is.

5. Soooo will this make a difference on energy bills or will we still get shafted in that department?

6. And it achieves nothing because the price is tied up to the gas 😆

7. Coupled with the expansion in battery storage in the UK this will start to deliver the grid stability we need to turn off gas and get to lower bills.

8. Surely this will bring the bills down? Surely, yes?

9. Why are we even doing all this?

   Plenty of oil still to be discovered in the North Sea

   Oil rigs don’t kill birds nor do they give whales cancer

   You bloody green neoliberals and your so called love of nature

   Who will protect al the birdlife and whales????

   Why isn’t the WWF sending hulk hogan to tear down these monstrosities?
