据油价网2023年1月6日报道，BBC援引英国国家电网公布的统计数据报道说，去年英国风力发电量创历史新高，占全国总发电量的26.8%。
报告指出，加上核能，英国风能的发电量超过了化石燃料。尽管如此，根据英国国家电网公布的统计数据，2022年天然气是英国最大的单一发电来源，占总发电量的38.5%。
统计数据还显示，去年有5个月，英国50%以上的电力是由风能和核能产生的。即便如此，英国人还是支付了过高的电价，因为与欧洲大陆一样，英国电力市场的所有价格都是基于天然气价格的。
英国能源非盈利机构能源与气候情报部门能源主管杰斯·拉尔森补充说，“我们老式的能源电网迫切需要投资，以最大限度地利用风能和太阳能提供的机会，继续减少英国居民的能源账单”。
英国拥有全球最大的风力发电能力之一，达到25.5吉瓦，英国政府计划将进一步大幅增加风力发电能力。2030年的目标是50吉瓦的海上风力发电能力。
英国能源市场监管机构Ofgem在去年年底的一份报告中写道：“英国政府的能源安全战略制定了一系列步骤，以加速我们摆脱对昂贵且对环境有害的化石燃料的依赖。”
报告说，地缘政治紧张局势凸显了这一转变现在不仅是为了实现英国的净零排放目标，而且还突显了从供应安全角度减少英国对天然气依赖的必要性。

UK Wind Power Generation Hit A Record High In 2022
Wind power generation reached a record high last year in the UK, accounting for a 26.8% share of total electricity generation, the BBC reported, citing data published by National Grid.
Together with nuclear, the report noted, wind accounted for more electricity production than fossil fuels. That’s despite the fact that gas was the single largest source of electricity generation in the country in 2022, accounting for 38.5 percent of the total, per the National Grid numbers.
The numbers also showed that for five months last year, more than 50 percent of the electricity produced in the country was generated by wind and nuclear. Even so, Britons paid exorbitant prices for electricity because, like in continental Europe, the electricity market in the UK has all prices based on the price of gas.
"The UK has a good record with offshore wind. We're quite a giant in the offshore wind world and our industry is very attractive," said the head of energy at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, an energy non-profit, as quoted by the BBC.
"Our old-fashioned energy grid urgently needs investment to maximise the opportunity that wind and solar offer to continue to reduce bills," Jess Ralson added.
The UK has one of the largest wind power capacities globally, at 25.5 GW, and government plans should see this rise further, considerably. The target for 2030 is 50 GW of offshore wind power.
“The Government’s Energy Security Strategy set out a series of steps to accelerate our transition away from reliance on expensive and environmentally harmful fossil fuels,” the country’s energy market regulator Ofgem wrote in a report late last year.
“The invasion of Ukraine highlights that this transition is now not just a matter of meeting Great Britain’s Net Zero targets, but also highlights the need to reduce our reliance on gas from a security of supply perspective.”
