A Record-Breaking Year: What the UK’s 2025 Renewables Milestone Means for Installers
At Segen, we’ve always believed that the transition to a clean energy future isn’t just a goal, it’s an inevitability. Fresh data from 2025 has officially confirmed it: The UK has just come off its greenest year on record.
According to a recent report by the BBC, wind and solar power reached new heights last year, providing a larger share of the UK’s electricity mix than ever before.
The Numbers Behind the Success
The statistics from 2025 tell a powerful story of a grid in transition:
Combined, wind and solar generated record amounts of clean power, frequently outperforming fossil fuels for sustained periods.
Coal is now a thing of the past in the UK’s power generation, and gas usage is seeing a steady decline as the “green gap” continues to widen.
Despite the UK’s reputation for grey skies, solar PV has proven to be a powerhouse, contributing significantly to summer peaks and proving that residential and commercial installations are making a massive dent in national demand.
Why This Matters for the Segen Community
For our network of installers, these records are a testament to your hard work. Every panel mounted and every battery commissioned has contributed to this national milestone. But more importantly, this data highlights several key opportunities for the year ahead:
The Rise of Battery Storage
With record generation comes the need for smarter management. The BBC report underscores that as we generate more wind and solar, the demand for sophisticated battery storage solutions, like the Tesla Powerwall 3 or the Anker SOLIX range, will only grow to help balance that load.
Future-Proofing the Grid
The shift toward renewables is accelerating the electrification of heat and transport. We are seeing a “Golden Triangle” emerge: Solar PV, Battery Storage, and Heat Pumps working together to create energy-independent homes.
Looking Ahead to 2026
While 2025 was a year for the history books, we aren’t slowing down. At Segen, we are committed to supporting our installers with the best-in-class products and technical support needed to keep this momentum going.
The transition is happening now. Let’s make 2026 even bigger!
