It's not "building on" in the "estimate of all land built on" sense. It's putting windfarms in existing agricultural land, where the farmland remains but has windmills in it too.

[1] gives a range of around 5MW/km2 to 20MM/km2, which assuming 10MW turbines is roughly 1 turbine per square km.

Yes, but that's still kinda crazy. One turbine every square km means you'd never be out of sight of a turbine anywhere in the country... No unspoilt views, no hilly (therefore windy) landscape untarnished, etc.
