Every quarter, BEIS publishes the Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), which lists applications for renewable energy projects as they progress through planning. The latest version was published on 14 January 2020.

A breakdown of merchant solar PV and onshore wind projects by number and capacity can be accessed on the REPD, which can be viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/renewable-energy-planning-database-monthly-extract.
