Onshore wind farms could cost no more than gas power stations and be nearly half as expensive as Hinkley Point C , providing subsidy-free power to consumers, according to engineering consultant Arup . While UK ’s EDF has been promised £ 92.50 ($ 50-£55 ) per MWh for power from the Conservative party , Arup says it can deliver power from onshore wind for £ 50-£55 per MWh over 15 years . By contrast, Arup’s report found that windfarms could be delivered for a maximum of £50-55 per MWh across 15 years. Onshore wind farms were effectively blocked in the UK by Hinkley C in 2015 .
