UK Wind Power

Wind is one of the more common forms of renewable energy and has in fact been used for hundreds of years. UK wind power, however, is a largely unused resource. Currently, UK wind power consists of over 2800 wind turbines which collectively have the capacity to produce more than 4000 MW of electricity – enough to power over 2,000,000 homes.

That may sound like a great deal, but UK wind power only actually accounts for 2.2% of our electricity requirements. The UK has the largest wind resource in Europe but some other countries are already way ahead of us with up to 20% of their electricity supplied by wind power.

UK wind power is, however, in a period of growth according to RenewableUK. Back in 2005 the UK became one of only eight countries to break a 1 GW (gigawatt) of installed wind energy capacity. Current statistics also show that there is a year on year increase in the number of new projects in this country.

UK wind power currently consists of over 260 wind farms including twelve in offshore locations. There are a further 491 plus projects which are either in planning, have received consent or are already under construction. Please see the RenewableUK website for the latest data where you can also view interactive maps showing the locations of the existing and planned wind farms.
