Over half of the UK’s electricity comes from low-carbon sources. The Carbon Brief found that from July to September 2019, renewables accounted for 40% of overall generation, compared to 33% last year.
The Government is investing £557 million in further Contracts for Difference auctions and over £3 billion for renewable technology innovation.
Additionally, we’re phasing out coal by 2025 and over 50% of electricity generation will be from renewable sources by 2030.
