Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the reliability of renewable energy, following reports that Britain's winter wind farm output is at its lowest level since 2015.

Wind power is a variable energy source, which is why it would never be the single source of energy generation in the UK. Instead, it is used alongside other forms of energy generation to create a reliable mix. Whilst wind is variable, it is also predictable. The National Energy System Operator monitors weather data and is able to plan for higher or lower power generation from wind turbines.
