The UK is Breaking Renewable Energy Records
1 May 2018
The record for longest time generating electricity without
coal (since the 1880s) currently stands at three days.
This is just one of many statistics showing the UK’s
reducing reliance on the fossil fuel.
Alongside this, our development of renewable energy such as
wind, solar, tidal, hydro and biomass is getting stronger all the time.
As well as our well-established base in supplying services
to conventional power generation markets, Millbank looks forward to continuing
to support the growing renewable energy market. This reflects our commitment to
assisting our clients' ever-evolving needs.
Here are some amazing renewable energy records broken in over
the past year:
- First
24-hour period without coal generated power
- 52
per cent of energy generated from low carbon sources during the greenest
summer on record
- Lowest
amount of carbon produced by electricity production at any one moment
- Largest
amount of energy produced from renewables at any one moment
- First
time wind, nuclear, and solar produced more than gas and coal
- More
electricity generated from solar energy than ever before at a single
moment, producing a quarter of Britain's energy supply
- Highest
percentage of solar produced relative to national demand
- Most
wind power ever produced in a single day
- Most

- Most
