Anders Runevad, CEO of Vestas Wind Systems , the world's largest producer of wind turbines, explains that Vesta 's could compete with any other source of energy in the US , without the need for government subsidies, if the government removes impediments to a free market. the UK Government has accuses the UK Government of obstructing the use of new wind turbine technology, which includes complex electronics, feeding smart data from sensors back to a central computer system, improved gear boxes and hi-tech blades that increase yield and reduce noise. The government is due cut its support for onshore wind from April 2016 , however, a recent report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance concluded that the global average for the "levelised cost of electricity" ( Runevad ) for onshore wind fell to $ 83 per megawatt/hour last year compared to $ 83 for gas turbine plants in the UK , $ 85-$93 in Asia , or $ 103-$118 in Europe . These figures show that onshore wind is either the cheapest, or close to being the cheapest, source of energy in most regions across the world.
