Only 17 small-scale onshore windfarms have been approved in England since 2015 when the government changed planning laws to create a de facto ban on onshore windfarms, according to the thinktank. The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, promised to remove the block on onshore wind six months ago but the government has yet to take action to ease the planning restrictions faced by renewable energy developers.<\/p>\n<p>Luke Murphy, an associate director at the IPPR, said the ban means England is as far from delivering enough onshore wind to meet the UK\u2019s energy security needs as from \u201cthe start of construction of Stonehenge in 2,500BC\u201d. The Guardian reported last month that Ukraine has grown its onshore wind capacity by a hundred times more than England since Russia\u2019s invasion in February 2022. The IPPR\u2019s report found that the English windfarms built onshore in the seven years since the restrictions were introduced have reached a total capacity of only 6.7 megawatts. This is just 0.02% of the onshore wind needed in England based on forecasts provided by National Grid.<\/p>\n<p>National Grid\u2019s influential industry forecast report, the Future Energy Scenarios, estimates that onshore wind capacity needs to increase to more than 30 gigawatts across Great Britain by 2030. At the current pace, it would take 4,690 years for England to meet its share of this target, according to the IPPR. The left-leaning thinktank has called on the government to undertake \u201cfundamental planning reform\u201d to England\u2019s planning system to help speed up the rollout of onshore windfarms as well as restore nature and meet the country\u2019s growing housing needs.<\/p>\n<p>The Labour party has promised to lift the block on onshore wind and vowed to put in place tough new targets to cut planning times for renewable energy projects down \u201cfrom years to just months\u201d. A government spokesperson said the amount of renewable energy connected to Great Britain\u2019s electricity grid had increased by 500% since 2010 and it had consulted on proposals to speed up planning permission \u201cwhere there is local support\u201d for onshore wind.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2023\/jun\/07\/england-4700-years-from-building-enough-onshore-windfarms\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/108842\/\">England \u20184,700 years from building enough onshore windfarms\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[5817,910,575,1649,1333],"class_list":["post-114768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-alarm","tag-england","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-onshore","tag-wind"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114768\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
