Onshore Wind

The UK has some of the richest renewable resources in Europe – particularly in terms of our wind resource. If this can be captured effectively then onshore wind can make a significant contribution to our long-term energy goals relating to climate change and security of supply.

This section tells you about onshore wind – how it works, the current use in the UK, what it means to you and your community, what you can do if you want to take a more active interest in onshore wind energy, and case studies detailing some onshore wind farm developments.
