The effective onshore wind ban has been lifted in England!

We’re excited that the UK Government has lifted the effective onshore wind ban in England! 

As a company deeply involved in the renewable energy sector, and with Headquarters in the UK, we see this as a fantastic opportunity to accelerate the deployment of clean energy solutions. 

The key highlights of this announcement include: 

  • Immediate changes to the National Planning Policy Framework. 
  • Upcoming proposals to further support renewable energy. 
  • A consultation on including large onshore projects in the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project regime for quicker approvals. 

This move demonstrates the Government’s commitment to overcoming longstanding barriers and advancing clean energy infrastructure. With public support for onshore wind at an all-time high, we are ready to leverage our expertise and contribute to this new era of sustainable energy.

In an effort to meet the UK’s ambitious decarbonisation goals, it is crucial for the government to also increase the budget for supporting offshore wind projects. Without additional funding, the risk of falling short on necessary capacity is significant, potentially undermining efforts to expand renewable energy infrastructure and meet climate targets.

At Perceptual Robotics, we are committed to ensuring our cutting-edge products continue helping the onshore and offshore industry to meet their performance goals, and we look forward to working together towards a sustainable energy future.
