Nuclear and renewables provide record share of UK electricity, ONS says

Power generated from low carbon sources hit 54.4% between July and September, according to Office for National Statistics

More than half of the UK's electricity came from nuclear power stations and renewables between July and September, official figures show.

The record high share of 54.4% of power from low carbon sources was a result of the rapid growth in solar and wind power, according to the Office for National Statistics.
