Credited from: BBC

Wind energy produced nearly 83 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in Great Britain in 2024, surpassing 2023 figures.
Fossil fuel generation dropped to just over 26% of the total electricity, with major reductions in coal and gas.
The UK government aims for less than 5% of electricity to come from fossil fuels by 2030, promoting a cleaner energy mix.
Overall, renewables accounted for about 56% of Great Britain's electricity in 2024, marking a historic high.
Emerging technologies, such as batteries, could help to balance energy supply during low wind conditions in the future.
