Did you know? Renewable electricity now supplies one quarter of South West homes.
Rapid growth but region still not on track to meet renewable energy targets.
A major report, published this July by independent renewable energy experts Regen SW, reveals that we now generate enough renewable electricity in the south west to power over one quarter of all homes. Renewable electricity capacity in the south west has grown by 37 per cent in the past 12 months to nearly 1.2 GW – and the region now generates 8.3 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources.
