The UK’s renewable sector saw significant growth last year, with offshore wind farms contributing nearly 17% to national electricity output. However, £1.47 billion was wasted due to curtailment of wind turbines, leading to a total of over £3 billion wasted.

A €32 billion investment is proposed to improve the grid and reduce waste. Europe faces similar challenges with grid investment lagging behind the necessary growth to meet future energy demands.
