Wind Turbines and Solar Panels help to meet more than half of the UK’s electricity demand

Data from the UK’s National Grid showed that on Wednesday 7^th June solar panels produced around 7.6GW of electricity while wind farms generated 9.5GW of power.  That combined with other forms of renewables totaled 19.3GW output - enough to meet more than 50 percent of the midday power demand of 35.4GW.

For the first time ever, during this lunchtime, wind, nuclear and solar together were generating more than both gas and coal combined.
