Original Note:
The source of the '9 times more expensive', is a climate activist site. It takes gas at the peak, then conflates € and £. https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-record-low-price-for-uk-offshore-wind-is-four-times-cheaper-than-gas/ The site also talks of CfD. These are not binding, and most companies did not enter, but sold the power at market. LCOE of wind is higher than gas. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0301421518308504
