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.
The United Kingdom generated 64.3 terawatt hours worth of electricity and heat through wind power in 2019. Onshore wind farms produced 32.19 terawatt hours of power, which was minimally more than the amount generated by farms situated offshore. Annual wind power generation for electricity and heat in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2010 to 2019 (in gigawatt hours)
