Wind cannibalisation
Planning our electric future: a White Paper for secure, affordable and low-carbon electricity, Glossary, published by the Department of Energy & Climate Change on 14 July 2011, defines wind cannibalisation as a: ‘Term used to describe a future scenario in which the wholesale price for electricity is depressed by large numbers of wind farms simultaneously generating large volumes of zero marginal cost electricity. Under such circumstances, the larger the penetration of wind generation on the system, the more revenues for wind generators could fall.’
