I recall a single experimental wind turbine located near the North Yorkshire coast about 30 years ago well before the current boom. I came here looking for some more information on that but couldn't find anything in the history section even though it must have been one of the very first in the UK. |

Yes, lots of the extensive early UK wind history is missing. WEG (Wind Energy Group), [[Andrew_Garrad | Andrew Garrad]] and friends, [[Renewable_Energy_Systems|RES]], [[RenewableUK|BWEA]], etc, etc, etc. An article about WEG would be welcome. Most of the information out there about WEG is pre-internet, all in paper, but a few YouTubes around. |

It seems like the Chancellor is planning to remove those extra planning regulations on onshore wind developments. |

Missing information
[edit]I recall a single experimental wind turbine located near the North Yorkshire coast about 30 years ago well before the current boom. I came here looking for some more information on that but couldn't find anything in the history section even though it must have been one of the very first in the UK.
Yes, lots of the extensive early UK wind history is missing. WEG (Wind Energy Group), Andrew Garrad and friends, RES, BWEA, etc, etc, etc. An article about WEG would be welcome. Most of the information out there about WEG is pre-internet, all in paper, but a few YouTubes around.

The lead should be more readable
[edit]I just copyedited the first para and the last sentence of the lead is fine. How about moving the rest down into the body and summarizing in the lead as:
From 2023 all windpower reduces the price of electricity: but in earlier years onshore wind built before the mid-2010s and offshore wind built before the late 2010s (sometimes) increased the price of electricity.(cite https://www.ft.com/content/f0e1496b-a535-4227-b39c-a2c6befffa87)
Or do you have a better suggestion for lead readability?
