This Grauniad article is a re-hash of what has been published
previously, except that I note they're now getting a strike price of

They've obviously been told they won't get the higher price. That they
can virtually halve their asking price and still make a profit is a
measure of the cynical profiteering that goes on in the renewables
industry, all the way from Big Renewables down to minnows like Harry.


You are implying all other generators do so out of purely altruistic
motives? Without a thought to making a profit?

Perhaps the same trick should have been pulled with Hinkley Point.
