United Kingdom hit record for wind power generation in December

December was a great month for wind energy in the United Kingdom, according to the Renewable UK, which coordinates the statistics of wind energy and offshore wind energy in the country.

Taking advantage of a trend that is also recurrent in many of the countries that have strengthened investment in renewables, the United Kingdom raised a total of 2.841 .090 megawatts/hour (MWh) of wind energy, about 10% of the energy needs of the country.

This energy would be enough to electrify 5.7 million homes, according to the Renewable UK.

The December 21, a Saturday, the wind farm generated 132.81 2 MWh and provided 13% of the total electricity demand that day â€" which was a daily record.

Until then, the best month ever had been October 2013, with 1.956 .437 MWh, representing about 8% of the UK's energy needs of that month.
