But presumably a windfarm with 200MW capacity could be regarded as "one plant" and gradually the larger windfarm operators will become comparable in scale of operations with the smaller coal/nuclear/gas operators...

Yes, and indeed in the USA and many countries where wind arrived only recently (with developers active elsewhere looking for new areas), there is already ownership concentration. But it is not a necessity. There are a lot of smaller windfarms, and a lot of them are at least co-owned by farmers. As for solar, a consolidation of the ownership is much less likely.
