Great Britain's monthly electricity stats

How we generated electricity in November

In November, gas was our largest source of generation, accounting for 31% of electricity. 

Wind power came a close second, providing 30.7%.

Though the month, 47% of electricity came from zero-carbon sources, peaking at 82% on 1 November at 1:30pm.

Demand for electricity peaked on 30 November at 5pm and 24TWh ran through the network, the most electricity we’ve used in one month since March 2023.
