His numbers are off by quite a bit, actually.
CAT suggests we'd need an additional 13,000 offshore turbines and 3,500 onshore turbines. Granted, that's the number required to reach zero carbon. But I'd imagine the numbers required to make the UK largely self-sufficient in regards to domestic energy production won't be far off that number. At a rate of one turbine per day, we'd be looking at 1,825 turbines built over a 5 year period.
