Scotland’s biggest offshore wind farm wasted three quarters of the energy it produced last year after being paid to switch off its turbines.

The government has awarded offshore wind farm contracts, which could power 12 million homes, in a record-breaking auction that marks a stepping stone in its goal to create a clean electricity system by 2030.

A federal judge ruled Monday that work on a major offshore wind farm can resume, handing the industry at least a temporary victory as President Trump seeks to shut it down.
