There's several places where you can see the UK's power generation live. Right this second we're running on 31% wind power. We're just rolling into peak power usage times so probably different when you click the link.

- braamble 4y agoThis is the best place to see a breakdown of UK generation. This information comes directly from National Grid. https://bmrs.elexon.co.uk/generation-by-fuel-type https://bmrs.elexon.co.uk/generation-by-fuel-type
- Reason077 4y agoThis one is not the full picture of UK generation, however, as Elexon's data only includes generators that are connected to the National Grid. Many smaller generators, including all(?) UK solar farms, smaller wind farms, W2E plants, etc, are connected to the distribution networks (DSOs), not directly to the National Grid. These can account for a significant percentage of UK generation at times! Most of the other websites displaying UK generation include additional data sources so that things like solar are accounted for.
