Ammon News - Britain is well on its way to fully 'clean' energy, new figures have revealed.

Wind officially overtook gas to become the UK's biggest source of power for the first time in 2024.

Figures released by the National Energy System Operator show that wind was responsible for 29.4 per cent of Britain's power last year.

In contrast, gas represented just over a quarter (25.9 per cent) of Britain's power.

According to the data, seen by Bloomberg, the last time gas made up such a small share of the UK's power was in 2013.

Back then, coal dominated the system, while wind accounted for just 6.6 per cent.

The new record comes as the government plans to make Britain's energy system 'clean' by decarbonising the electricity grid by 2030.

The UK has several different sources of energy thrown into the so-called 'mix' – from wind to gas, solar, biomass and nuclear. Daily Mail
