The UK Government set on becoming a ''clean energy
In July 2025, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (“ DESNZ ”) published its first-ever dedicated strategy aimed at revitalising the deployment of onshore wind power in the UK (the “
5.1 The Government made a manifesto commitment to deliver clean power by 2030, and the UK has legally binding net zero and carbon budget targets. These will require the accelerated delivery of several low-carbon technologies, including renewables such as onshore wind and solar.
The Government supports the work of RenewableUK to expand the Energy Skills Passport to the onshore wind sector via the development of new career pathways. The Government wants to ensure the benefits of clean energy, including onshore wind deployment, are captured and felt across the whole of the UK.
Drawing on the Taskforce's work, this Strategy includes 42 actions, primarily Government commitments, to resolve the key blockers to onshore wind in the UK. The key actions include: 1.
The onshore wind sector could support up to 45,000 direct and indirect jobs in Great Britain by 2030. The 2030 estimate is based on a scenario where up to 29GW of installed onshore wind capacity is achieved by 2030, in line with the top of the Clean Power Action Plan range for onshore wind.
