The UK's wind farms are expected to be severely hit by the new legislation, known as New Electricity Trading Arrangements, or NETA, which requires a guaranteed output from all electricity suppliers - which is not the case at present.The proposals are forecast to become law in November and aim to reduce both wholesale and customer prices, while improving supply efficiency.
