Scottish wind farm, dedicated to provide power to COP26, has been paid UK£519,778 to shut down due to high winds. The turbines not only produce net-zero energy when there is no wind, but also when there is too much wind. May they rust in place! https://t.co/TCOGnrx7Qe

Exclusive: UK bill-payers fork out more than £500,000 to switch off turbines at official Cop26 wind farm

The Griffin wind farm in Perthshire is powering the climate summit at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow.

Bill-payers have forked out more than £500,000 to make Cop26‘s official wind farm switch off their turbines so far during the summit.

The Griffin wind farm in Perthshire is powering the climate summit at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow.

SSE officials have claimed that all mains energy being used by delegates at the venue is 100% being generated by the turbines in Perthshire.

However, it has been revealed that the wind farm is creating too much energy because it’s too windy, meaning that the government are paying them to switch off the turbines.

Between the start of Cop26 on November 1 and November 7, the owners of Griffin wind farm were paid £519,778 to switch off.
