Existing windfarms and those with planning permission would be protected from the move, but new developments would not be eligible for financial support.
Energy minister Michael Fallon said that existing and planned onshore wind projects would be enough to meet the EU 2020 renewable target and therefore the technology does not need further support.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) estimated there is currently 13.8GW of onshore capacity that has already been built, is under construction, or has planning permission, which is more than the 11-13GW target.
Fallon said: “We remain committed to cutting our carbon emissions. And renewable energy, including onshore wind, has a key role in our future energy supply.
“But we now have enough bill payer-funded onshore wind in the pipeline to meet our renewable energy commitments and there’s no requirement for any more.
“That’s why the next Conservative government will end any additional bill payer subsidy for onshore wind, and give local councils the decisive say on any new wind farms.”
The Tories also announced their plans to give local planning authorities responsibility for giving planning permission to new onshore wind projects, rather than them being viewed as nationally significant infrastructure projects which are granted planning permission by central government.
Further changes would also be made to the planning policy should the Conservatives win the general election next year, which would “give even greater protection to locally valued landscape, heritage and other concerns”.
These changes would be implemented six months after the 7 May election, should the Conservatives gain a majority.
Maria McCaffery, chief executive at Renewable UK, criticised the Tory plans as “draconian” and threatens investment in the entire energy sector.
She added: “It’s unfortunate that we seem to have reached a point where the Conservatives are allowing UKIP to dictate Tory energy policy.
“When it comes to something as important as guaranteeing the security of the UK’s future energy supply, the British public deserve better than ill-considered, short-term policy making on the hoof like this.”
