Solar Powers Record Share of Britain’s Electricity Mix in July

Solar power hit a record share of Britain’s electricity mix in July, according to recent energy statistics. The increase reflects stronger solar generation alongside continued growth in installed capacity. While wind remained a major contributor to renewable output, the month’s figures showed solar was catching up, helping supply a larger portion of daytime demand. Grid operators continued balancing supply and demand using a mix of renewables, interconnection, and dispatchable power as generation patterns shifted during the month.
