As we wrote about previously in Obscene profits generated by Scout Moor, 2024/25 was a bumper year for subsidies reaped through the Contracts for Difference scheme. As a result of this one scheme, the public provided £2,242M3 for the privilege of making offshore investors rich. This amounts to about £71/second, which is the rate that the counter below has been ticking over at since you opened this page. However, Richard Lyon has gone several stages further and published a subsidy clock covering the running total from all renewable energy subsidies. All data is sourced and updated continuously. This is a fantastic piece of work, providing the most comprehensive picture to date of the true costs of our renewable energy policy. https://subsidyclock.co.uk/
