We are big fans of wind energy and we are pleased to hear that the new peak ‘half-hour’ record for wind turbines in the UK has been broken! At the start of October the record high was 7,920 megawatts (MW) and it now stands at an astonishingly high 8,100MW.
In addition, we know that earlier this year, wind energy provided 24 per cent of the UK’s electricity supply for the entire day, but even more impressive, official statistics show that wind power generated more energy than nuclear power for 11 full days over October, with the longest period being between the 17th – 24th.
It’s only going to get windier so hold on to your hats!
