The regulator should look into this as to me it seems like a racket to keep prices inflated.

Why would anyone pay 20 times the value of somthing if there was not more to be earnt by doing so?

The manufacturers of wind turbines are a very powerful lobby, and have a lot of politicians on their side. Their arguments in favour of wind energy don't (in my opinion) hold up under scrutiny, but they're very well entrenched.

You'd need to look at the contract as a whole to see if the penalty charges make sense.

No doubt they did when negotiated, but it's easy to selectively quote from something large and complex to make part of it look stupid.  ;)

Yes it's what the media are very good at doing.
