The UK’s pipeline of onshore wind projects at all stage of development (operational, under construction, consented, in planning and pre-planning) has grown by 4.2 gigawatts (GW) since last September, from 38.5GW to 42.7GW.
This is a considerable increase compared to the previous twelve-month period (Sept 2022-23), when the pipeline grew by 1.5GW. 4.2GW of onshore wind capacity is enough to power almost three million homes a year.
Our latest EnergyPulse Onshore Wind Report shows that the UK now has 15.5GW of onshore wind capacity in operation - enough to power 10.9 million homes. This includes 594 megawatts of capacity which has gone operational so far in 2024.
