On November 11, Britain set a new wind energy record. Wind turbines generated 22,711MW enough clean electricity to power over 22 million homes! That’s 43.6% of the country’s power coming from wind alone.
Kayte O’Neill, Chief Operating Officer at the National Energy System Operator, said:
“This is a world-beating record showing that our national grid can run safely and securely on large quantities of renewables generated right here in Britain.”
It is a huge milestone for clean, reliable, and affordable energy while helping Britain move away from fossil fuels.
