Update: 1 October 2024

We have updated the Quarter 2 database of the REPD with some additional information about the site area of operational solar projects. We are working with Barbour ABI to roll this out for projects at earlier stages of the planning process, as well as the other renewable technologies, as soon as we can.

The Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) tracks the progress of UK renewable electricity projects over 150kW through the planning system. It provides as accurate and comprehensive a snapshot as possible of projects, and of progress across the technology sectors, through the following stages:

  • inception
  • planning
  • construction
  • operation
  • decommissioning

The database is updated during the month following the end of each quarter.

Please note: the minimum threshold for installed capacity was 1MW until 2021, at which point it was lowered to 150kW. This means that projects below 1MW that were going through planning system before 2021 may not be represented in the REPD.

Interactive map

An interactive map of the REPD data shows the geographical spread of renewable energy projects.

If the projects are not visible on the map, refresh your browser (press F5) and they should re-appear.

Heat network projects

Barbour ABI manages the data on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).

The data is sourced mostly from the web and developers. If you have information about a renewable energy scheme not included in this database, or you spot any inaccuracies in the information provided, please let us know by email to REPD.enquiries@beis.gov.uk.
