Does Scottish Government (S36) approve onshore wind schemes?
Yes — of the 173 onshore wind schemes Scottish Government (S36) has decided, 80% were approved (138 granted, 35 refused). The UK-wide rate for onshore wind is 68%.
How long does a onshore wind scheme application take in Scottish Government (S36)?
The median time from application to decision is 33.7 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 Scottish Government (S36) consented?
12,247 MW has been consented across 138 approved schemes, with 3,613 MW refused. A further 122 applications awaits a decision.
Other technologies in Scottish Government (S36)
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 Approval rate is over decided applications only (approved ÷ approved+refused); withdrawn and undecided schemes are excluded.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.
