Sorry yes, I meant generated in the UK, as in not imported.
They don’t count micro generation in the stats. Sheffield Solar say they have data from 1600 solar generators.
I would imagine there’s a significant amount of home generation from rooftop solar, but this would show up as a decrease in grid demand, rather than an increase in green supply. Grid demand was 36.5 GW in 2012, but only 30.1 in 2022. I guess part of that drop is due to uncounted microgeneration offsetting some demand.
