Britain just hit a new high for clean electricity usage. In 2024, 74% of power came from renewables and nuclear combined, up from 68% the previous year. It marks another step towards the UK’s target of hitting 95% low-carbon generation by 2030.  The momentum continued into 2025. Between April and June, renewables alone supplied around 55% of electricity, a new quarterly record. Wind power met 70% of demand during one especially stormy weekend. This shift

From October 1st, energy bills for millions of homes across Great Britain will go up again. Ofgem has announced that the energy price cap will rise by around 2 %, lifting the annual cost of a ‘typical’ household from £1,720 to £1,755. On paper, that looks like an extra £35 a year, or just under £3 a month. In practice, the timing makes it feel far more significant. The increase takes effect just as households

In 2024, renewable energy in the UK crossed a historic threshold, supplying 50.4% of the UK’s electricity. It was the first time renewables have provided more than half of the country’s generation, up from 46.4% in the previous year. The total output reached a record 143.7TWh, surpassing the 135.8TWh set in 2023. In this article, we’ll dive deeper into the numbers and the industry’s reception. Let’s get started. Breaking the 50% barrier The leap to

A plan by the clean energy company Xlinks to power the UK with renewable electricity from Morocco has been rejected by the government. The £22–24 billion project, backed by major investors and designed to bring consistent renewable power to British homes, will not receive official support. This is despite Xlinks’ claim that it will reduce power costs, cut emissions and strengthen energy security.  But what is this plan? Why has it been turned down by

It’s sad to say, but the UK’s ambitious plans to decarbonise its energy output by 2030 are looking more unlikely than ever. Despite bold targets and public commitments, major clean energy projects are stalling or being abandoned entirely. The country aimed to deliver 43GW of offshore wind by the end of the decade and ramp up hydrogen production as a key part of its net zero strategy. However, rising costs, long planning delays and weak
