Emeritus Prof Christopher May

The UK's pivot from fossil fuels to renewables over the last ten years has now reached the point where this year we will be (regularly) using renewables more than fossil fuels for electricity generation.... it may still leave too much reliance on fossil fuels, but the trend, if slower than one might like, remains encouraging (as does the lack of an expansion of nuclear).

Chart: Wind, solar & hydropower are set to generate more electricity that fossil fuels in the UK this year. Annnual (%) shows fossil fuels declining from over 60% in 2014 to less than 40% this year, while renewables have grown in the same period from around 10% to nearly 40%; nuclear remains below 20% with some slight decline, against biomass which has grown from around 10% t nearly 20% over the same period
