UK sets new wind power record
(Climate Action, 10 Dec 2019) The UK set a new renewable energy record this week, with wind generating more than 16 gigawatts (GW) of electricity.
On Sunday, a new renewable energy record was set when wind generated more than 16 gigawatts (GW) of electricity in Britain for the first time, providing more than 40% of power.
Storm Aiyah - the first named weather system of the new winter season – blew in on Sunday night, bringing gusts of almost 80mph.
Renewable UK said that the previous wind energy record (15.32GW) was set on 8th February this year.
National Grid broke the news on Twitter, saying the wind energy generation was enough to power 8 million kettles.
That's enough #electricity to power 8 million kettles! Or 140 large hadron colliders! https://t.co/1XuKqcl37O
