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.
