I'm paying £98/MWh for it "delivered" come wind or calm.

The Telegraph article mentions an average price of £35/MWh. I presume
that's a wholesale price paid to the generators.

About 3x mark-up to pay for electrical losses, costs and profits at grid
and REC levels.

I assume that the figures being bandied around for Hinkley and for
the Hornsea wind farm (which, like Hinkley, isn't yet built) are
wholesale prices again.

Maybe we should wish for a couple of severe winters that delays them
installing the windmills? If they don't get 95% of the capacity
installed within 2 years of the target date "we" are allowed to wiggle
out of the committed price.
