Wind Power

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what plans he has for the future generating capacity of UK wind farms.
Answer

The UK does not have specific targets for wind power generation. However, under the lead scenario in the Renewable Energy Strategy published last July, more than 30 per cent. of our electricity could be generated from renewables by 2020. Much of this generation would be from onshore and offshore wind.
