THE cost of renewables obligation subsidies has now topped £100billion, according to government statistics recently released.
Subsidy payments are increased in line with RPI every year, but at 2025 prices the bill since 2010 has now risen to £101.2billion. Last year alone, renewable generators received subsidies of £7.7billion. Two thirds go to wind and solar farms, which we are told are supposedly the cheapest forms of energy.
