wind turbines

As climate change influences more extreme weather events, an expert roundtable has urged greater consideration be paid to the impact weather conditions have on wind production in the UK.

Wales-based renewable energy developer, Bute Energy has submitted a development application for a 92.4MW wind farm in Wales.

Consumers based in Northern Ireland were able to avoid paying a collective total of £500 million thanks to the nation’s wind farms having provided 42% of electricity for the year.

Less than two weeks into the year 2023 and a new wind generation record has been set, with the technology generating over 21.6GW yesterday (10 January).

​Balancing component obsolescence with the potential of turbine repowering is a key consideration when maximising the potential of wind power.

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has estimated that the development of 45GW of onshore wind farms would take up 2.1% of the UK’s total land prompting calls to scale the renewable energy technology.

UK wind generation surpassed 20GW earlier this week according to National Grid, hitting a new record for the second week in a row.

Wind power could save each UK household nearly £250 in savings per year compared to gas, says new analysis conducted by RenewableUK.

The UK’s overall pipeline of onshore wind projects has increased by over 4GW in the last twelve months, says RenewableUK.
