Solar generation reached a record high share of 11% of all generation in the UK
(DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS/PA)
Energy trends data, released by the Energy Department (DENSZ) show that wind, solar, hydro and bioenergy together accounted for 54.5% of all the UK’s generation for these three months this year.
This marks an increase of 2.8 percentage points from the same quarter of the year in 2024.
The new record was partly driven by a 10% increase in offshore wind generation and a 27% increase in solar output, compared to April, May and June last year.
Solar generation was at a record high share of 11% of all generation, the data shows, after the UK saw its sunniest spring on record.
