2023 UK wind energy powers over half homes, 36.5% of energy mix, with potential for 13x increase in clean energy using only 3% land.
High winds have powered over half of UK homes with green electricity in 2023, with wind energy making up 36.5% of the country's energy mix compared to 29.4% in 2022. Researchers from Exeter University and Friends of the Earth identified 374,900 hectares of land in England as highly suitable for new onshore wind and solar projects, suggesting the potential to increase clean energy output by 13 times while using less than 3% of the country's land.
