Hagshaw Hill 2 Onshore Wind Farm | UK Renewable Energy Facility

Hagshaw Hill 2 is an operational onshore wind farm located in the United Kingdom, owned by Scottish Power Renewables. With a capacity of 26 MW, it is a medium-scale wind energy facility contributing to the country's renewable energy portfolio. The facility operates under the UK's regulatory framework, which includes the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme and the Renewables Obligation (RO), supporting the deployment of onshore wind. The UK has a target of net-zero emissions by 2050, with onshore wind playing a key role in the energy transition. Hagshaw Hill 2 contributes to the local grid by supplying clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As part of the wider Hagshaw Hill wind farm cluster, it supports regional renewable energy generation and helps meet the UK's climate goals.

Onshore wind farms like Hagshaw Hill 2 can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect bird and bat populations through collisions. However, they produce zero emissions during operation, displacing fossil fuel generation. The site's location in the UK benefits from strong wind resources, but grid integration and capacity management are key challenges for wind energy expansion.
