New figures show that wind power has overtaken gas as the UK's biggest energy source in 2024, reaching 29.4%. This milestone illustrates significant progress towards clean energy, emphasizing the government's commitment to decarbonizing the electricity grid by 2030.
The National Energy System Operator's recent data reveals that wind's dominance in Britain's energy mix represents a drastic shift from previous years when fossil fuels like coal and gas were prevalent. In 2014, wind comprised only 8.2% of power generation.
The diverse energy mix of the UK—comprising wind, gas, nuclear, and others—highlights the importance of multiple sources in meeting energy demands and achieving sustainability goals while ensuring stability in electricity supply.
