The UK wind industry is celebrating another milestone this week as the country's grid operator revealed that wind power generation reached a new high the week before, setting a new high of 14.
9 gigawatts (GW), equivalent to 33% of the
UK's electricity demand.
Statistics show that UK onshore and offshore wind farms generated up to 14.
9 GW of new electricity
between 6pm and 6.
30pm on Wednesday 28 November.
According to Drax Electric Insights, this equates to generating 33% of the UK's electricity demand, surpassing the record
of 14.
5 GW set on November 9.
Overall, on Wednesday, National Grid statistics showed that wind power generated by electricity in the UK accounted for 32.
2%, far more than natural gas (23.
5%), nuclear power accounted for 17.
9% and coal accounted for only 8.
7%.
The success of wind was not limited to Wednesday and is likely largely due to Hurricane Diana's passing through the UK
last week.
According to Drax, wind turbines produce an average of 8.
4 GW in 7 days and often account for around
32% of the country's electricity demand.
The record-breaking week could also be partly due to the successful commissioning of the Rampion offshore wind farm off the coast of Sussex
.
According to the company's announcement on November 30, Rampion was developed by E.
ON and successfully put into full operation, taking full advantage of the arrival
of Hurricane Diana.
