Discover live statistics on onshore and offshore wind energy projects in the UK, powered by RenewableUK's EnergyPulse platform.
The Labour government is trying to boost the country’s energy security by emphasizing the development of “homegrown energy” and reducing reliance on energy imports. Increasing onshore wind capacity from 15 gigawatts (GW) to 30 GW, and offshore wind capacity from 15 GW to 60 GW by 2030 is...

Britain has become a global leader inoffshore windenergy in recent years but increasingly lagged behind in onshore capacity, which is cheaper and quicker to build. The planning rules update follows sustained calls by renewable energy advocates and a growing revolt by Tory MPs, including former COP...
Year-on-year, onshore wind capacity increased by 2.5 GW, while solar PV increased by 1 GW, with almost half installed in the first quarter of 2017 ahead of the closure of the Renewables Obligation (RO) to remaining grace period solar projects. ...
An ABB analysis places a number on the shortfall of offshore wind projects needed to meet the U.K.’s 2030 target: Reaching 50 GW in seven years will require a 265% increase in capacity from 24 wind farms.
2019's auction should be able to procure up to 6 GW of capacity," Wharton said. "We think this is achievable for offshore wind under the maximum prices set by the government." In November the government set bid price ceilings for offshore wind at ￡56/MWh for delivery 2023/24, and ...
“There’s not a single technology which enables you to deliver the cost effectiveness of onshore wind at scale. So we believe that going forward, onshore wind will always have its place in a balanced transition to a more renewable mix in the wider power generation supply in the UK,” he...
