This chart compares UK daily electricity generation from gas and from wind, using official National Energy System Operator data.
This chart shows daily UK electricity generation from gas and from wind. Both are measured in GWh, so they are compared directly. Generation varies day to day with demand and weather.
This chart shows generation volumes, but it does not prove a single cause for changes in the fuel mix, and it does not measure capacity, emissions, cost or reliability. Daily figures are weather-dependent and can be highly variable.
