UK onshore wind pipeline reaches 33 GW

Wind Industry Profile of

New research published today by RenewableUK shows that the total capacity of the pipeline of onshore wind projects which are operating, under construction, consented or being planned in the UK has grown to nearly 33GW.

A year ago, the total pipeline stood at 30GW. Our latest Onshore Wind Project Intelligence report shows that we could see significant increases in deployment from the mid-2020s onwards. If every project in the current pipeline were to go ahead, the UK would reach 30GW by 2030, more than double the UK’s current operational capacity of 13.9GW: 33GW of onshore wind capacity would power more than 21 million homes all year round, playing a significant role in decarbonising the UK’s electricity system.
