Northern Ireland has set a new record for electricity generated from wind.
On the morning of 6 January 2022, approximately 1037.25 megawatt (MW) of electricity was generated by wind energy.
The news came from the System Operator for Northern Ireland (SONI), who confirmed in a tweet yesterday that the previous record of 1020MW set on 11 March 2019 was broken by 17MW.
The generation accounted for over 92% of Northern Ireland’s total electricity demand that day.
