The United Kingdom generated 82.3 terawatt hours worth of electricity and heat through wind power in 2023. Onshore wind farms produced 32.6 terawatt hours of power, which was less than the amount generated by farms situated offshore. Wind power capacities have steadily increased in the past year, with renewable energies taking up a greater share of the UK's energy mix, following the phase-out of coal.
