UK wind generation live

Energy Mix shows live UK wind generation as part of the GB electricity mix, alongside demand, gas, nuclear, solar, imports/exports and carbon intensity.

How much electricity is UK wind generating right now?

Use the Energy Mix live dashboard for current UK wind generation. It places wind output in context with total demand, other generation types, imports/exports, renewable share and carbon intensity.

Why wind matters

Wind is one of the largest variable renewable sources in the UK electricity system. Its output can change quickly, so live context is useful for understanding the wider grid.

How to interpret the number

Wind generation should be read alongside demand and other generation categories. High wind can reduce fossil generation and imports, but the exact system effect depends on demand, interconnector flows and other sources.

Data freshness

Wind data may come from fast generation feeds and embedded generation estimates depending on source availability. Energy Mix displays source freshness so users can see how current the data is.

Data sources and methodology

Energy Mix is an explanatory dashboard built on authoritative open electricity datasets, including Elexon BMRS/FUELINST, NESO sources, the Carbon Intensity API and interconnector context data where applicable. Read the methodology at /data.
