Centrica warns on wind farm costs (receding horizons)

[phantom power]

The truly scary thing about Receding Horizons is that it's an equal-opportunity barrier to new energy deployment. Every new kind of infrastructure we try to deploy from here on out gets less and less affordable as time passes.

Centrica, one of the UK's biggest energy generators, has warned that the prospect of making money from wind farms is looking "marginal".

The company says that the rising cost of off-shore wind farms could end up ruining the government's renewable energy targets.

The comments come a week after Shell withdrew from a project that was set to become the world's largest wind farm.

the wind farm off the coast of Skegness has doubled in price in the last three years because of the rising cost of steel and copper.
