Analysis reveals England’s untapped potential for renewable energy

A recent analysis conducted by Exeter University, commissioned by Friends of the Earth (FoE), has unveiled that England has the capacity to generate 13 times more renewable energy than its current output, utilizing less than 3% of its land area.

The research indicates that onshore wind and solar projects alone could supply enough electricity to power all households in England two and a half times over. Presently, approximately 17 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity annually are sourced from homegrown renewables on land.
