UK electricity cleanest ever in 2024

2024 has been the cleanest year for the UK. The country's electricity,wind and solar generation hitting all-time highs. The analysis by Carbon Brief found that in the past decade the UK had more than halved electricity generated from coal and gas and doubled its output from renewables. In its latest annual assessment Carbon Brief said carbon dioxide pollution for each unit of electricity had fallen to 124g per kilowatt hour, down more than two-thirds from 419g per kilowatt hour in 2014, as the grid has shifted away from carbon-intensive fossil fuels. In the past 12 months renewables including wind, solar and biomass from sources such as burning wood pellets and landfill gas generated a record 45% of the country’s power. Add in electricity generated by nuclear and the total from low-carbon energy sources reached a record 58% in 2024. The Labour government has promised to decarbonise the UK’s electricity supply by 2030 and has ambitious plans to increase solar and wind production in the next few years.
