At the time of posting the UK energy mix is a disappointing 50% FF. Not a lot of wind in the North Sea I guess. At peak it could be 25% FF or even lower with clear skies. At least there's usually more wind at the same time lower temperatures increase demand.
Very disappointing. I think a large part of that is because up until earlier this year it was basically impossible to get permission for new wind turbines in England. That has now technically changed, but only insofar as it's now just next to impossible as opposed to actually impossible.
Checked for my countrt, Slovenia: ~25 percent of electricity generated is fossil fuel based, around 15% is imported.
Do the Swedish still use peat as fuel for fossil-free energy? They did a few years ago, but I can't find recent data on this.
