To date, the UK has installed more than 14 GW of onshore wind power and has a pipeline of planned projects totaling 23 GW.
Cool to see the UK doing cool shit even though they left the EU.
The UK tops out at about 35-45 GW daily so this is really a substantial amount of power with a lot more planned in the near future. Solar is also taking off, around 200k home solar installations every year at the moment and a lot of new commercial solar farms are being installed. Its a good 1/4 the price of gas, this is mostly economics driving the change rather than any real policy from government.
That last line is a bit odd, isn’t it? A country isn’t reliant on being in or out of the EU to do cool stuff.
Either way, this is good news. We need more of this.
no they’re not and that’s the point :)
