Original Note:
This is untrue. While more onshore wind will reduce our needs (during windy periods) on fossil fuels they are not cheaper and Ed Miliband has repeated this assertion multiple times. The cost of wind has gone up not down. Subsidies being the main reason. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/renewables-obligation-ro-annual-report-scheme-year-20-2021-22 https://dp.lowcarboncontracts.uk/dataset/actual-cfd-generation-and-avoided-ghg-emissions
