Changes to capacity ranges

For the December 2025 publication, in response to user needs we have added an additional version of Table 1 with a different breakdown of the capacity ranges. The new capacity ranges align better with eligibility criteria for Government schemes such as Contracts for Difference. For each range, the top boundary is moved into the next category. Currently the 50 kW to ≤ 5 MW includes 5 MW sites. Under the new ranges the 5 MW sites are instead included in the 5 ≤ to < 25 MW band. These are official statistics in development with the intention of becoming the main capacity breakdown from March 2026. We would welcome feedback from users on this change using the contact details below.
