An SSE-led consortium has been ordered to pay £33.14 million by Ofgem, after it was found to have overcharged for curtailment. An Ofgem investigation found that electricity generator Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited (Bowl) breached market rules by charging excessive prices to reduce its generation output when this was required to keep the electricity grid balanced, thereby pushing up costs for consumers.
