Onshore wind farms could cost no more than conventional power stations and be half as expensive as at Point C , providing subsidy - free power to homes , according to engineering consultant Arup . However, Anderson said he saw the report, due in October, as a good opportunity. While France ’s EDF has been charging £ 92.50 ( $ 1 ) per MWh for power from Point C , Arup says it can deliver power from onshore wind for £ 50-£55 per MWh over 15 years . Onshore wind farms were effectively blocked in the UK by the Conservative party in 2015 .
