In the third quarter of 2019, the UK’s wind farms, solar panels, biomass, and hydro plants generated more electricity than the combined output from power stations fired by coal, oil, and gas, Carbon Brief analysis reveals.
During the three months of July, August, and September, renewables generated an estimated total of 29.5 terawatt-hours (TWh), compared with just 29.1TWh from fossil fuels, the analysis shows.
This is the first-ever quarter where renewables outpaced fossil fuels since the UK’s first public electricity generating station opened in 1882 It is another symbolic milestone in the stunning transformation of the UK's electricity system over the past decade.
