据油价网1月12日消息称，本周早些时候，风力发电产生了创纪录的能源量，周二晚上首次超过21吉瓦。
狂风天气将风力发电推向了一个新的高峰，英国涡轮机的发电量在新的一年里上升。
英国国家电网电力系统运营商(NGESO)证实，在1月10日周二下午6点至6点半之间，它产生了21.6吉瓦的电力，占英国能源结构的50.4%。
这是有史以来最大的风力发电量，打破了去年12月30日创造的20.9吉瓦的纪录，这是去年创造的第三个风能纪录。
行业机构RenewableUK在整个冬季一直在跟踪可再生能源和核能等低碳能源产生的电力，并每两周发布一次更新。
其最新计算显示，在12月27日至1月9日的圣诞假期后窗口期，低碳能源提供了英国82.5%的电力。
这将减少13.1亿立方米的天然气需求，这将耗资21亿英镑。
RenewableUK首席执行官Dan McGrail敦促政府充分利用风力发电的持续增长。
他说：“随着公众对可再生能源的支持也创下历史新高，很明显，我们应该努力最大化对可再生能源的新投资，以提高我们的能源安全。”

Wind Power Generates Record Amount Of Energy In The UK
Wind power generated record amounts of energy earlier this week, topping 21 gigawatts for the first time ever on Tuesday evening.
Blustery conditions have powered wind generation to a new peak, with generation across the UK’s turbines rising over the New Year.
National Grid’s electricity system operator (NGESO) confirmed that between 6pm and 6.30pm on Tuesday 10th January, it generated 21.6GW in power – providing 50.4 per cent of the UK’s energy mix.
This is the most wind has ever generated, and beats the previous record of 20.9GW set on 30 December, which was the third wind energy record set last year.
Industry body RenewableUK has been tracking electricity produced by low carbon sources such as renewables and nuclear throughout the winter and posting updates every fortnight.
Its latest calculations show low carbon power sources produced 82.5 per cent of Britain’s electricity in the post-Christmas window from the 27 December to 9 January.
This cut gas demand by 1.31bn cubic meters, which would have cost £2.1 billion.
RenewableUK’s chief executive Dan McGrail urged the Government to make the most of wind power’s continued growth in generation.
He said: “With public support for renewables also hitting new record highs, it’s clear we should be trying to maximise new investment in renewables to increase our energy security.”
