Wind power hits record as turbines deliver over a quarter of UK electricity in 2022
The TelegraphWind supplied over a quarter of Britain’s electricity for the first time ever last year, highlighting the rapid growth of the energy source. Wind now accounts for a greater proportion of Britain’s electricity mix than nuclear, after two large nuclear plants shut down over the year. The figures highlight the huge change in the electricity mix over the last decade, provoked first by a push to cut carbon emissions and accelerated by Russia’s throttling of gas supplies to the West. Nuclear power stations generated 15.5pc of the electricity mix last year, with the rest supplied by imports, biomass, solar, hydropower, coal and storage.
