UK Wind Power

2005 surpassed all records for wind energy in the UK.

In June we passed the landmark 1,000 megawatts (MW), making the UK only one of eight countries around the world to have installed over 1,000 MW of capacity.

We still have a long way to go to keep up with countries such as Germany, Denmark and Spain.

In total, the UK had 1,337 MW of wind capacity by the end of 2005, with nearly 800MW of wind farm development currently under construction.
