Renewables planning

In this section, you can find information on UK planning policy and processes in relation to renewable energy. We have also included details of relevant legislation and outlined the key planning issues surrounding the different renewable energy technologies.  

The interactive map of UK renewable energy projects lets you locate on and offshore wind farms, solar power schemes, and hydroelectric and biofuel projects across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are descriptions of the projects, along with their status (approved, under construction, or operational), capacity, and quarterly reports.
