Soaring ahead: Generators not subject to regulated prices have gained from rocketing energy prices

Wind power is a rapidly growing force in UK electricity generation, with the number and size of UK wind farms increasing in recent years. As the UK strives for net-zero emissions, abundant natural resources make wind energy the highest yielding option. Government support for renewables has boosted investment in wind-generating assets, with most of the capacity expansion coming from offshore wind. According to government data, the share of electricity generated from wind power increased from 17.1% in 2018 to 24.7% in 2022.

Companies in the Wind Power Generation industry operate wind farms across the UK. Wind farms contain wind-operated turbines that generate electricity for consumers from a renewable energy resource.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
