From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

In which universe is this something to brag about?

Electricity demand on the island of Great Britain has been fully covered by the output of clean-energy sources for a record 87 hours in 2025 to date, new Carbon Brief analysis shows.

This is up from just 2.5 hours in 2021 and 64.5 hours in all of 2024, ahead of the government’s clean-power target for 2030.

The target aims for 95% of the electricity generated in the country in 2030 to come from low-carbon sources, as well as for 100% of national demand to be met without fossil fuels.

Analysis: Great Britain has run on 100% clean power for record 87 hours in 2025 so far

I would be more concerned by the other 6417 hours when we did need gas power!

And even then, their “clean power” included nuclear and burning trees, neither of which anybody would regard as “clean”.

But as Carbon Brief admit, we still had plenty of gas power running for the whole of that time, most likely to provide inertia. Although non-fossil fuel power just about covered demand, the surplus power was exported.

Carbon Brief are not a reliable source of information, they are simply a climate change lobby group, funded by the far-left European Climate Foundation.
