A total of 3bn , which will ultimately come from consumers is to fund the construction of nine offshore wind sites between 2027 and 2031 .

Denmark ’s state-controlled energy company Orsted is among the biggest winners, along with ScottishPower , which is owned by Spanish utility Iberdrola .

Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho welcomed the 5GW of offshore wind contracts.

Industry experts said the 3.4GW of generation capacity delivered by the auction was far short of what the Government needed.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said it did not recognise the costs per household, but renewable energy remained essential.
