Does Aberdeenshire approve onshore wind schemes?
Yes — of the 118 onshore wind schemes Aberdeenshire has decided, 69% were approved (81 granted, 37 refused). The UK-wide rate for onshore wind is 68%.
How long does a onshore wind scheme application take in Aberdeenshire?
The median time from application to decision is 12.7 months, against a UK median of 11.5 months for onshore wind. That is measured between the submission and decision dates recorded in REPD, so it reflects the whole determination period including any extensions.
How much onshore wind capacity has Aberdeenshire consented?
490 MW has been consented across 81 approved schemes, with 214 MW refused. A further 40 applications awaits a decision.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0 — 2026 Q1 extract. Approval rate is over decided applications only (approved ÷ approved+refused); withdrawn and undecided schemes are excluded. A permission later expired still counts as approved because consent was granted. REPD covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above, is published quarterly, and does not record refusal reasons — so nothing here explains why a scheme was refused.
