Gusts of up to 80mph may bring disruption but also a surge in cheap wind power after days of near-zero output
A looming “weather bomb” is expected to snuff out a surge in wholesale energy prices after windfarms produced the lowest levels of electricity since September 2023.
Cloudy and still weather has caused Great Britain’s renewable energy output to fall to near zero this week but is expected to give way to gusts of up to 80mph, alongside heavy rain and snow, on Thursday and Friday.
