A new interactive map will track the development of wind farms and other renewable energy projects across the UK.

It follows the government’s recent energy review, which set out plans to increase renewable energy capacity five fold by 2020.

The map, on the DTI website, allows you to chart the development of on and offshore wind farms, solar power schemes, hydro electric and biofuel projects in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. At the click of the mouse the site gives details of projects, including their status.

The website also contains quarterly reports on the delivery of renewable energy schemes.

Energy minister Malcolm Wicks said: “The aim is for 20% of our electricity to come from clean, green energy sources by 2020 and that means a significant number of new schemes springing up. The interactive map... will allow users to monitor progress and will provide them with details of all the different types of projects being developed across the British Isles."
