EXCLUSIVEHigh 勝利,勝つd mean over HALF the UK's homes 力/強力にするd by green electricity

  • 嵐/襲撃する Kathleen's high 勝利,勝つd 速度(を上げる)s meant 勝利,勝つd turbines 生成するd more 力/強力にする
  • This led to 勝利,勝つd 力/強力にする making up 61% of the UK's electricity, 二塁打 the 普通の/平均(する)?

The 猛烈な/残忍な 勝利,勝つd of 嵐/襲撃する Kathleen?had an 予期しない 利益 as more than half the country's homes were 力/強力にするd by 勝利,勝つd-生成するd electricity - 二塁打 the normal 普通の/平均(する), This is Money can 明らかにする/漏らす.

Gusts topping 70mph were 記録,記録的な/記録するd in parts of Britain on 6 April, the 高さ of the 嵐/襲撃する, 誘発するing major travel disruption and flooding.

But the high 勝利,勝つd 速度(を上げる)s also meant that the country's 勝利,勝つd turbines made up 二塁打 the 量 of electricity they usually do.

勝利,勝つd made up 61.6 per cent of the nation's electricity 供給(する) on 6 April, creating 18 gigawatts of 力/強力にする - enough to 力/強力にする 12.6million homes for the day.

Green electricity: Wind made up 61.6% of electricity creation on April 6

Green electricity: 勝利,勝つd made up 61.6% of electricity 創造 on April 6

This stayed almost constant on 7 April, with 勝利,勝つd making up 60.8 per cent of the country's electricity mix,?によれば 国家の Grid ESO.

The UK daily 記録,記録的な/記録する for the 量 of electricity coming from 勝利,勝つd 力/強力にする is 70.9 per cent, also this year - on 20 January.

This is Money 分析 shows that thanks to a gusty start to the year, a total of 18 days have seen 50 per cent or higher electricity 創造 from 勝利,勝つd.

Additionally, of the 87 days from the year (of 97) of data 供給するd by 国家の ESO, 勝利,勝つd has made up 36.5 per cent of Britain's energy mix in 2023. This compares to 29.4 per cent in 2023.

In February, there was a four day (一定の)期間 where 勝利,勝つd made up 50 per cent or more of the energy mix, while 5, 6 and 7 April also saw more than 50 per cent of electricity 創造 through 勝利,勝つd.?

勝利,勝つd 力/強力にする only made up 29.4 per cent of the UK's electricity mix in 2023.

The other main ways of 生成するing electricity are b urning natural gas, coal, 水力電気 力/強力にする, solar and 燃やすing biomass.

The high 勝利,勝つd on 6 April meant only 8.2 per cent of the UK's electricity on the day (機の)カム from 燃やすing the 化石 燃料 natural gas, 負かす/撃墜する from the 2023 norm of 32 per cent.

Britain is fourth in the world when it comes to 勝利,勝つd 力/強力にする, behind 中国, the US and Germany. There are around 11,000 勝利,勝つd turbines in the UK, with half on land and half 沖合いの/海外の.

These turbines have the 可能性のある to 生成する 30 gigawatts of electricity, 供給するd there is enough 勝利,勝つd to 力/強力にする them. At 頂点(に達する) times the UK 要求するs around 60 gigawatts of electricity.

The 政府 計画(する)s to 増加する the 量 of electricity 勝利,勝つd turbines can create to 50 gigawatts by 2030.

Former 首相 David Cameron had 以前 停止(させる)d the construction of new onshore windfarms in 2015, with 現在の 首相 Rishi Sunak relaxing this in 2023, although very few onshore 勝利,勝つd farms are 現在/一般に 進行中で.

But England alone could create 13 times more green energy than 現在/一般に by using いっそう少なく than 3 per cent of its land, によれば 研究 from Exeter University and Friends of the Earth.

The 研究員s said 96 terawatts of electricity could come from onshore 勝利,勝つd and another 130 terawatts from solar パネル盤s.

Tony Bosworth, 気候 選挙運動者 at Friends of the Earth, said: '抑えるのをやめるing the UK's 巨大な 可能性のある to 生成する cheap, clean homegr own renewables is 必須の to bring 負かす/撃墜する our energy 法案s for good and 会合 the UK's 決定的な international 的 to 減ずる 炭素 放出/発行s by two-thirds by 2030.?

'But the 現在の 政府's 記録,記録的な/記録する on 上げるing our energy 安全 through renewables is woefully 不十分な and has left the UK lagging far behind in the 全世界の race to a 無-炭素 economy.'

All the UK's coal-解雇する/砲火/射撃d 力/強力にする 駅/配置するs are 予定 to be shut 負かす/撃墜する by the end of 2024.
