Over 38% of the United Kingdom’s electricity production stems from renewable fuel sources, drawing upon a diverse array of renewable sources. These include hydro power stations, both onshore and offshore wind farms, biomass power stations, and solar farms.
The European Union’s objectives and the government’s resolute commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 ensure that this proportion will only rise as we approach the stipulated target deadlines.
To attain these ambitious goals, there has been substantial capital infusion into the renewable energy sector, amounting to an estimated £42 billion invested since 2010. The bulk of this investment has been directed toward the renewable electricity market, while onshore wind, offshore wind, solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, and biomass facilities have also secured multi-billion Pound investments.
Geographically, England and Scotland dominate the landscape of UK investments, accounting for 94% of the total. In England, investments are primarily focused on offshore wind, solar energy, and biomass projects, whereas in Scotland, the primary emphasis lies in onshore wind projects. Notably, the per capita investment in Scotland exceeded that of England by more than twofold and surpassed the investments made in Northern Ireland and Wales by threefold.
