Do you have a link to support that assertion?
Onshore Wind Generation costs now at 3.3 cent per kw/h or less.

And apparently there will be no bids in the current UK auction, as is.

Onshore, where allowed, has no bidding problem at all.

If 40% the build cost of offshore, as reported, then easy profits are still to be made despite the high interest rates and inflation.

All good all well. But the average for each project is about the size of one 5MW onshore turbine.
And 4 times the price thus following the Tory tradition of increasing our bills.

Cost ratios seem the same with a slight onshore cost reduction and slight offshore increase.

The Tories are really taxing."“Unfortunately, the government has been sending mixed messages to industry about the net zero transition – which could mean we lose out on the cheaper [energy] bills and good jobs that will come from building the industries of the future here in Britain,” he said."
"In last week’s king’s speech, the government announced an energy bill with plans for a new annual system of oil and gas licences, despite the UK’s commitment to net zero targets"

That 'bottomless pit' contrasts to wind turbines who's negative claims are on the whole, proven lies.
"One former UK secretary of state described it as a “bottomless pit of hell, money and despair”, which sucked up so much cash that it drowned out many other projects the economy could otherwise benefit from."

'Godforsaken' must be code for 'Tory run'.

'Hero replied: "Average Energy Costs across Europe UK - €2,960 France & Belgium - €650 Spain - €620 Germany & Denmark - €558 Holland - €546 Austria - €545 Norway - €543 Poland - €174." '
Those costs possibly highlight why '2 million people will be disconnected this winter'
Also is the news is another headline 'England has had 1 new onshore wind turbine in the last 12 months'.

Notably it is now as much down to high offshore wind costs.

'British households are experiencing a notable escalation in electricity prices, outpacing most developed countries.'

https://www.offshorewind.biz/2024/02/08/japan-achieves-153-5-mw-of-offshore-wind-capacity-in-2023/
So, for Japan, last year they had 4650 MW wind capacity of which only 154MW was offshore.
We had 15,000 offshore and 15,000 onshore.
Totally crazy in cost no doubt. It seems to be decimating industry.
