This real carbon saving benefit leads to the conclusion that the higher cost of electricity from wind (compared to existing thermal generators such as coal or gas) will offset future fossil fuel rises. The Department of Energy and Climate Change 2010 statement on the future cost of green policies forecasts that by 2020, the net cost to the consumer of green energy measures on an annual energy bill will be just 1 per cent or ??13 compared to bill with no measures.
