Thanks to a local supporter for the attached report into the Performance (or lack off Performance) of Wind Farms in the United Kingdom and Denmark.
Very interesting reading!

"These findings have important implications for policy towards wind generation in the UK. First,
they suggest that the subsidy regime is extremely generous if investment in new wind farms is profitable despite the decline in performance due to age and over time. Second, meeting
the UK Government’s targets for wind generation will require a much higher level of wind capacity – and, thus, capital investment – than current projections imply. Third, the structure
of contracts offered to wind generators under the proposed reform of the electricity market should be modified since few wind farms will operate for more than 12–15 years."
