Wind Becomes Leading Energy Source in Britain for 2024

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Wind power emerged as Britain’s largest source of electricity in 2024, according to data released by the National Energy System Operator (NESO).
  • For the first time, wind energy generated 30% of Britain’s electricity, surpassing gas plants, which accounted for 26.3%.
  • The UK has nearly 15 gigawatts (GW) of installed offshore wind capacity, with plans to increase it to 60 GW by 2030.
  • Coal plants have been phased out, contributing only 0.6% of electricity, with several clean power records broken throughout the year.
  • The peak wind capacity reached 22,523 GW on December 18, contributing 68.3% of electricity at that time.
