Renewable energy news for big impact

Recent data shows the UK’s increasing reliance on renewable energy, with over half of its electricity generated from renewable sources for three consecutive quarters.

Data from the Met Office has revealed that the UK experienced only 1,435 hours of sunshine in 2023, compared to Guernsey’s 1,814. The sunshine island therefore had more daylight to convert into solar power, reflecting 1,196 kWh per kWp compared to the UK’s 1,025 kWh per kWp. Guernsey thus had 14.3% more potential for solar power than the UK in 2023
