Labour end the ban on onshore wind turbines, good news. Remarkable fact since Russias full blown invasion, Ukraine has managed to install 12 times more onshore wind turbine capacity than we currently have in the UK
Ukraine completed about 200MW of onshore wind last year. The first since the war started. It went into the war with about 1.7Gw of wind.

The U.K. has almost 30Gw of installed capacity with onshore accounting for about 14Gw.

The UK has also been much more focused on the substantially more effective offshore wind..so much so it has the leaves offshore wind capacity in the world. On top of that there is another 8Gw already in construction.

Back to onshore there is already 8Gw of planning consented applications. 6Gw in planning and waiting approval and 7Gw in pre planning.

On a more specific note The South Kyle onshore farm went operational in 2023 providing 230Mw

So the concept of Ukraine having 12x anything with regards to wind power v the U.K. doesn’t ring entirely true unless someone has picked a rather specific period of time and set of stats to fit their point while completely missing the bigger picture.
