Wind generation averaged about 59 GW, slightly below the April record set in 2024, according to daily data by WindEurope as well as BMRS data for Great Britain analyzed by Platts.

"You can't really separate the two anymore," Jon Powers, president of solar and battery storage developer CleanCapital, told Platts, part of S&P Global Energy.

Imports of gas do not exceed 15 million cubic meters a day currently, as the war in neighboring Iran has forced it to slash gas exports to Iraq, the spokesperson said.
