Onshore Renewables

Industry Sector: Onshore Renewables

A Brief Overview


Onshore renewable energy, including
wind, solar, and biomass, has seen remarkable growth in the UK and Ireland, becoming a cornerstone of the transition to cleaner energy.


Onshore wind farms alone generated approximately 35 terawatt-hours of electricity in the UK in 2022, while utility-scale solar farms like Shotwick Solar Park highlight the role of solar power in reducing reliance on fossil fuels.


Globally, the renewable energy sector is expanding rapidly. In 2023, it was valued at $1.21 trillion, with significant investment flowing into wind and solar developments worldwide.


Growth and Opportunity


In the UK, iconic projects such as
Whitelee Wind Farm in Scotland exemplify the scaling of onshore wind energy. Government incentives and corporate commitments to sustainability continue to propel this growth, creating significant opportunities for innovation and job creation.


Internationally, countries are investing in similar large-scale developments, further enhancing the market's potential.
