By limiting the role of gas power plants in setting electricity prices, wind farms saved Britain around Β£38 per MWh last year.

More renewables = cheaper, cleaner, electricity.

2025 was a record year for UK renewables.

But gas generation also rose slightly.

To meet rising electricity demand in a clean and sustainable way, it's so important that we keep pushing to accelerate the roll out of renewables.

UK wind power reaches all-time high πŸŽ‰β€‹

@neso-energy.bsky.social has announced that the UK’s wind farms generated over 23,000MW electricity on 5th December, beating the maximum generation record of 22,000MW set less than a month ago.

Clean energy now produces around 60% of UK’s electricity mix.
