Analysis Summary I’ve analyzed the Renewables_2025.csv file containing 103,573 records of hourly energy generation data spanning the entire year 2025. Here are the key findings: (Gemini 3 Pro) Dataset Overview: Key Statistics: Critical Finding:Found 46 days in 2025 when combined wind and solar generation fell below 20% of total energy demand. This represents approximately 12.7%…

I am glad you found the data useful. Since you are interested in these specific “low wind” events (often critical for energy storage planning), I ran a quick follow-up analysis to check the seasonality and the severity of these lulls. Here are a few additional insights that might be valuable for your records: 1. The…

There were 30 continuous periods of 24+ hours where wind generation stayed below 5GW. These low wind events totaled 1,862.7 hours (77.6 days) across 2025. Notable Extended Low Wind Events The longest continuous low wind period lasted 180.4 hours (7.5 days) from October 10-18, 2025, with generation dropping to just 0.38 GW at its lowest point. Other significant extended…

Solar Capacity The UK added approximately 2.9 GW of solar capacity over the 12 months ending Q3 2025, representing a 16% increase in capacity. Total solar capacity reached around 21 GW by Q3 2025. The third quarter alone saw significant additions including the 373 MW Cleve Hill solar farm, now the UK’s largest solar installation.…

As 2025 concludes, UK wind and solar generation have both increased compared to 2024, while gas generation has declined. Wind Generation Wind power has shown strong performance in 2025, generating a record 29.2% of UK electricity in 2024 (83.3 TWh), establishing a high baseline for comparison. In Q3 2025 specifically, offshore wind generation increased by…
