  • 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.
