As the renewable energy industry continues to grow in order to reach the UK’s renewable targets, we wanted to look at which areas are seeing the biggest level of investment, as well as areas with potential for future investment. Our interactive map displays upcoming renewable projects across the UK, including wind farm, solar and biomass plant projects.
Key findings
Scotland has the highest level of renewable energy investment based on both existing and upcoming energy projects.
Wales could see an improved level of investment in order to reach its target to produce twice the amount of electricity it currently uses from renewable sources by 2025

Testimonials
We approached Bunkabin in 2015 to deliver a turnkey accommodation solution for our performers from around the world who were performing at Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebrations at Windsor this year. Subsequently 200 Bunkabins were ordered and work started on the planning of such a major logistical operation. In 22 days, 200 Bunkabins, complete with bedding kits, were delivered and installed and when our performers arrived they were amazed that we could offer an on-site solution that offered everything they needed. It made for a real village atmosphere with all nations joining together and we couldn’t have asked for more.
Bunkabins drivers were amazing – taking great care when loading and offloading not to damage the grass in the Private Grounds of Her Majesty The Queen and all in all the Bunkabins worked perfectly

Over the last 6 years we have increased the Student Village from initially 30 up to currently 274 en-suite Student Sleepers. The Student Village Company provide us with a flexible accommodation capacity, so as long as we have land available, we no longer need to turn away a student because of accommodation shortages.
It is very difficult to predict exact intake numbers however The Student Village Company are able to provide additional capacity only a few weeks before freshers week. The decking, canopy and decals make an enormous difference. The students love them.
