About This Dataset
United Kingdom Wind Share of Electricity by Year 2010-2025
Percentage of the United Kingdom's electricity generated from wind power in each year since 2010, as published by Ember. Each bar is one calendar year.
✨ AI Insight
Wind supplied 2.69% of British electricity in 2010 and 29.37% in 2025, roughly an eleven-fold rise. Two years break the upward trend and both are worth noticing: 2016, when the share fell from 11.88% to 10.96%, and 2021, when it dropped sharply from 24.37% to 21.09% - a reminder that wind output varies with the weather from one year to the next, not just with how many turbines are standing. The series has flattened at the top: 29.31% in 2024 and 29.37% in 2025 are effectively the same figure.
