According to the national grid operator, wind energy hit a record 13.9GW of metered output at 10am on Sunday morning, boosted by strong winds and the addition of several large offshore wind farms in 2017 – a record year for deployment. That output increased to 14GW by 11am.
The new record was confirmed by the National Grid Operator in response to the above tweet from a “wind-loving Walthamstow mum.”
The Grid Operator tweeted at 10.30am that renewable energy sources (plus storage) were providing 44.8 per cent of Great Britain’s electricity all up: wind 31.4%, gas 19.8%, nuclear 15.7%, coal 14.4%, solar 6.4%, imports 6.3%, biomass 4.1%, storage 1.1%, hydro 0.5%, other 0.2%.
