Early taste of summer sees UK renewables set new records

Early taste of summer sees UK renewables set new records

The UK’s suite of renewables set new records last weekend as the country basked in unseasonably bright conditions for much of Sunday.

Solar PV and wind generation assets benefitted from ideal conditions as much of the country witnessed unspoiled sunshine, followed by increased wind speeds.

Energy monitoring site mygridgb.co.uk, which collates data from various sources to conclude which generators are providing the UK grid with its electricity, claimed that Sunday afternoon saw a number of new records set for renewable and low carbon generators.

The site claimed that at 2:33pm yesterday solar set a new record for its contribution to the grid, providing more than a quarter (26.25%) of the UK’s total energy demand.
