Annual wind electricity generation by UK country; GWh, 2004 vs 2024.
Wind electricity generation is compared across the four UK countries between 2004 and 2024. Endpoints are annual gigawatt-hours, and growth rates compare each country’s 2024 total with its 2004 base. England records both the largest absolute increase, rising from 400.6 to 46,258.6 GWh, and the largest percentage increase at 11,446.9%. Wales has the smallest percentage increase at 774.1%, while Scotland adds 28,645.1 GWh.

Evidence: Supports wind electricity generation in 2004 and 2024 for all four UK countries.
Percentage growth is sensitive to the starting level, so the public data should retain both endpoint values alongside the rate.
The comparison selects wind generation for 2004 and 2024 and calculates both absolute and percentage changes from the published endpoints.
All endpoints use the same official source, fuel definition and gigawatt-hour unit.
