The latest government statistics confirm renewables continued to rise, driven largely by record wind output last year. Here are the key takeaways:

⚡​Renewables generated 143.7TWh of clean power last year, up from 135.8TWh in 2023, accounting for 50.4% of UK’s electricity demand

⬇️​ Meanwhile fossil fuels fell to just over 31% of total generation, down from 36.7% the previous year

💡 Wind remained the UK’s leading clean power source, generating a record 83.3TWh – nearly 30% of total generation

With the government aiming to deliver a clean power system by 2030, we hope to see the rollout of renewables continuing to accelerate. We’re proud to play a part in helping the UK reach this target, as we continue expanding our fleet of wind and solar projects – most recently acquiring a 10MW solar farm in Essex that will help power over 4,400 average UK homes a year.
