Yes, but that's because large percentage (70% what I can remember) came from nuclear power plants. If it hadn't been for the "green" movement who spent past 30 years fighting "dangers" of atomic energy maybe we would have been in totally different place and we wouldn't have to worry about global warming, air pollution, etc.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoUK nuclear never gets over about 20-25%. The current - and still ongoing - UK coal-free run, has been on the back of gas (30%), wind(25%) and nuclear(20%). Overall figures as obviously wind and solar can vary widely on individual days. Biomass and solar, and a little bit of hydro make up the rest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_Kingdom#/media/File:UK_electricity_production_by_source.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_Kingdom#/...
