A new record - on 5 December wind power produced enough electricity for 3/4 of UK homes
At 23.8GW it meant that even during winter peak demand, it was still providing nearly half the country's power needs
Still a way to go though....

Three more British MEPs from Nigel Farage’s bloc are alleged to have “followed the script” given to a colleague who was being bribed by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors, as a police investigation into the affair continues.
