More renewable records

Yesterday the UK managed to max out at over 15GW of electricity generated by solar power.

This was a day after the solar record had been set. That day was also windy and for a period we were only generating 0.4GW of electricity from fossil fuels, a new low and also a record low percentage of 1.2%

It would be nice to think it's our current government's positive attitude towards renewables that is helping us break these records, but in reality most of the infrastructure currently powering these records was started several years ago
