Onshore wind farms in UK could cut £50 a year off energy bills

Government urged to overturn effective ban to help meet ambitious climate targets

Government ministers face rising calls to lift their block on onshore wind farms to help meet the UK's ambitious climate targets while reducing home energy bills.

Some of Europe's largest energy investors have urged the government to overturn an effective ban on new onshore wind farms in England, warning that it may be stifling a flood of investment into the UK's clean energy sector.
