Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to address any reduction in the amount of energy produced by onshore wind caused by changing weather patterns.

Wind power is a variable energy source which is why it is used alongside other forms of energy generation to create a reliable mix. Modern onshore wind turbines are able to maximise generation at times of low and high wind speeds and for longer. The Electricity System Operator monitors weather data and can plan for higher or lower power generation from wind turbines.
