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…

Solar, Wind 30GW less than Demand

Despite “Yellow Wind Warning” for most of England, the wind generation is not a record high. This is because the Low does not reach as far as the Scottish wind farms…..only the East Coast / North Sea is feeling the benefit Wind Steady Gust Oban 10 24 Bridlington 23 45 Note: A doubling of wind…

Combined they are in the region of 20GW

Demand peaked at 38 GW (17:00), met largely by CCGT (19.5 GW). Wind stayed low (1-2 GW), solar near zero. CCGT produced ~370 GWh, reflecting high reliance due to weak renewables. These are the days that some claim do not exist.
