Scottish Onshore Wind Project Pipeline
In the Scottish Onshore Wind Sector Deal, the onshore wind industry committed to provide an analysis of the expected pipeline of new onshore wind projects, extensions to existing projects, life extensions and re-powering projects expected between 2023 and 2030. This will enable Government and statutory consultees to plan for the resources that will be required to process applications.
This analysis was carried out by BVG Associates and includes when these developments are likely to be submitted for Section 36 consent or planning permission, the likely geographic distribution of development between planning authorities, and the potential MW scale of development.
The December 2023 report has both a full report that gives detailed information on how the project pipeline was analysed and a summary report of key findings from the full report.
The December 2024 report has been restructured. Just a full report is provided and the information it contains has been streamlined.
Further pipeline analyses have been paused due to the significant uncertainty caused by ongoing policy changes. SR will review this on an ongoing basis.
