RENEWABLE ENERGY VIEW 2015
Onshore Wind (Power)
Onshore wind has grown well over several years. The geographical spread is not even, with a strong concentration in Scotland. If recent trends were continued, it would be well on course for the 2020 deployment anticipated by the government. This is by no means certain, as growth has slowed recently: rates of planning consent have fallen significantly and the full impact of increased requirements on community engagement, including increased payments to local residents, has yet to be seen.
Onshore wind is one of the cheapest technologies for generating renewable electricity. So the implication of attempts to reduce future deployment is that other more expensive technologies will be needed to meet renewable and climate change targets.
