Wind Power: Planning Permission

Asked by Graham StuartConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 9 September 2024UIN 2775

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what percentage of existing onshore wind farms in England have a decommissioning bond as part of their planning consent agreement.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Given the large number of operational wind turbines within the UK, the Government does not hold this information centrally. Instead, this will be held by the relevant local planning authority.
