This is Part 4 of a series of videos by the Irish Spokesperson for the European Platform against Wind Farming, Val Martin. In this part, the reality of Wind Energy subsidies is discussed.
The Eirgrid study, "Impact of Wind Generation on Wholesale Electricity Prices in 2011" comes to the following conclusion:
• The wind generation expected in 2011 will reduce Ireland’s wholesale market cost of electricity by around €74 million.
• This reduction in the wholesale market cost of electricity is approximately equivalent to the sum of Public Service Obligation (PSO) costs, estimated as €50 million, and the increased constraint costs incurred, due to wind in 2011.
