The government needs to significantly boost its capacity of offshore wind projects if it is to meet its clean power targets.

03/01/2026

Wind generated more than 85TWh - nearly 30% - of Great Britain's electricity last year, up slightly on 2024, according to analysis of Neso data.

But the most notable change was solar power.

Over the course of the year, solar panels generated more than 18TWh - over 6% of British electricity.

While that is still a relatively small share, it marks a growth of more than 4TWh versus 2024.

At its peak, solar was producing more than 40% of electricity for a small number of half-hour periods in July.

Back in 2013, no such period had more than roughly 5% of electricity
