New UK wind energy and renewables generation records set in 2022

The UK recorded a new wind energy generation record as 2022 drew to a close, with wind generating 20.918 GW of electricity in the half-hour period between 6 and 6.30pm on 30 December, beating the previous record of 20.896 GW set on 2 November and reaching a new high for the third time in the year. Meanwhile, Britain generated a record amount of renewable electricity for 2022 as a whole, but the rising cost of gas led wholesale power prices to almost double year-on-year.
