Britain’s huge network of wind turbines set a monumental new record on November 11 at 7:30 pm.
The wind farms collectively generated an unprecedented 22.7 gigawatts (GW) of electricity. That impressive output was sufficient to power 22 million homes, a visible demonstration of the nation’s accelerating transition to a clean energy future.
This new peak comfortably beats the previous wind generation record of 22.5 GW, set less than a year earlier on December 18, 2024.

GW a day? Is it either GW (at a moment or over a longer period?) or GWh / day?
When will journalists finally learn the difference between power (GW) and energy (GWh)?

Yes it can make some power and that’s all well and good but the environmental cost makes wind power not worth it in large generation format. Turns out that the creation of inaudible low frequency sound of large scale turbines is adverse to the health of living things.

And yet Offgem are increasing prices, greedy c***s.
If that’s true then everyone should have cheap energy
We only have 67/68 million people and some have 4)5/6 in their house.
