Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate she has made of the amount of wind energy that will be generated in each of the next five years.

The table below sets out total estimated wind energy generation to the nearest terawatt hour, from 2015/16 to 2020/21. These estimates include both onshore and offshore wind generation and are consistent with LCF spend projections published in November 2015 and updated renewable capacity projections, published alongside updates to the Feed in Tariff Scheme in December 2015.
