The report warns that more than 8 gigawatts (GW) of onshore wind – which currently generates nearly a fifth (17.5%) of the UK’s entire renewable power output – could be retired over the next two decades, and that new policies are needed to support replacing, or ‘repowering’, these older onshore wind farms. The UK’s first commercial wind farms were developed in the 1990s and were built to operate for 20-25 years.
