In 2014, wind power provided record amounts of clean, efficiently produced energy according to recently released official statistics from the National Grid.

Generating enough electricity to supply approximately 6.7million households across the UK, wind turbines across the country are increasing in popularity, especially when compared to traditionally supplied energy sources that are rising in price. Experiencing a 15% increase over the amount of energy generated by turbines in 2013, the results are clear that more focus is being placed on renewable energy sources and wind turbines are becoming more favourable.

Wind farms, those that are sponsored by public and government funding too, feed into the national grid and along with smaller sites and independent turbines have all attributed to increasing the amount of clean energy directed to British homes, providing 9.3% of the UK’s total electricity created by wind, an increase 1.5% above the previous year. Amongst many other records being beaten last year, it seemed then a terrific result for wind generated electricity as a viable source of clean fuel and ever present power.

Speaking of how 2015 looks to already had a great start, Maf Smith, the deputy chief of RenewableUK had this to say: It’s great to start 2015 with some good news about the massive quantities of clean electricity we’re now generating from wind, with new records being set month after month, quarter after quarter, and year on year, as we increase our capacity to harness one of Britain’s best natural resources.”
