> UK electricity cleanest ever in 2024, with record 58% from low-carbon sources
> Gas-fired power stations remained the UK’s single-largest source of electricity in 2024, generating some 88TWh (28%), just ahead of wind at 84TWh (26%).
The remaining sources of electricity in 2024 were nuclear (41TWh, 13%), biomass (40TWh, 13%), imports (33TWh, 11%) and solar (14TWh, 4%).
Wind + solar = 26% + 4% = 30%. Math is hard. /s
