The International Renewable Energy Agency provide a huge amount of data on renewables around the world. Here’s a summary of their 2019 data on renewable electricity generation.| Energy Numbers
Previously I’ve provided capacity factors for Danish, German and UK offshore windfarms. Now here are the numbers for the larger of the Belgian offshore windfarms. The ones shown here are the only ones I’ve been able … More→| Energy Numbers
Previously I’ve provided the figures for Danish offshore windfarms, for the UK , and for Belgium too. Here are the numbers for the larger German offshore windfarms. The ones shown here are the only ones I’ve … More→| Energy Numbers
NEW updated with data for 2019 too. Germany has been phasing out its nuclear power, as policy, since 1999. It’s also been expanding its renewable generation. The nuclear phase-out provides the renewables market with a clear, … More→| Energy Numbers
Here are the average capacity factors of every Danish offshore wind farm, newly updated to include data to the end of 2018. Compare these with the capacity factors for German, and UK, and Belgian offshore wind … More→| Energy Numbers
On 17 December 2015 Britain passed a new landmark on the road to cleaner electricity: for four hours, from 03.00 to 07.00, the grid had a plurality of wind: wind was the largest generation type on the … More→| Energy Numbers
Is land area a barrier, or a significant constraint, to achieving 100% renewables? The question has been floating around for a few years; individual pieces of work had found that the answer globally was no, land … More→| Energy Numbers
From China’s 2014 energy statistics: New renewable capacity outstripped new coal capacity; additional output from renewables (the increase in output in 2014 over 2013) was greater than the total output from nuclear; total generation from hydro, … More→| Energy Numbers
It’s been a remarkable few months for wind generation in Britain, Feb 2014 – Jan 2015, and the last of those two months in particular. Several records were broken, and re-broken.| energynumbers.info
Here are the average capacity factors for offshore wind farms in UK waters, newly updated to include data to the end of May 2022 (though there are still some figures to come through for the most recent couple of months, but only for the smaller windfarms). There are 40 operational windfarms presented here, and three closed demonstration sites.| energynumbers.info
