Happy 25th birthday to UK offshore wind! 🎂 Today marks 2️⃣5️⃣ years since the UK’s first offshore wind farm began to generate clean power. Blyth Offshore Wind Farm, located off the coast of Northumberland, paved the way for a major new industry which is now playing a central role in the UK’s transition to renewable energy. In a single generation, offshore wind has grown to become the UK’s biggest source of clean power, providing over 34% of all renewable electricity in 2024. Last year, it accounted for a record 17% of the UK’s total electricity and supported 40,000 jobs around the country! In just a quarter of a century, the industry has grown to a total generating capacity of 16.1GW, which is enough to power: 🏘️ Over 16 million homes each year 🎄 Over 600 million fully decorated Christmas trees ⚽ 362 FA Cup finals at Wembley!

In a single generation, the UK has gone from having two offshore wind turbines to having just under 3,000. The industry now has a total generating capacity of 16.1 gigawatts (GW), which is enough to power more than 16 million homes each year, and over 600 million fully decorated Christmas trees 🎄 But where did it all start 25 years ago? 🤔 The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero Minister for Energy Michael Shanks MP is in Blyth to find out! 🔎 “Twenty-five years after the first offshore wind turbines began to turn, Britain is once again leading the world in clean homegrown power. “Offshore wind is at the heart of our 2030 mission – helping us reduce our dependence on volatile fossil fuel markets, lower bills for good, and support 100,000 jobs by 2030.” Find out more 👇 #Generational
