RWE AG has halted about 1 billion pounds (1.4 billion) of planned onshore wind farms in the U.K. because of government efforts to halt aid and restrict planning for the technology. RWE's Innogy renewables division canceled nine planned wind farms in England representing about 250 million pounds of investment, Mike Parker, head of U.K. onshore wind at the utility, said Jan. 18 in an interview in London. Another 10 to 12 projects costing 650 million pounds to 800 million pounds in Scotland and Wales have been put on hold, with the utility spending just the bare minimum to maintain legal rights, he said.
