The share of renewable energy in the United Kingdom’s electricity production reached 47% in 2025, setting a new annual record. This progress was driven by strong performance from wind farms, both onshore and offshore, along with solar and biomass plants. However, this growth was partially offset by a 5% increase in electricity generation from natural gas compared to the previous year.
