UK Marks One Year Without Russian Gas as Renewable Energy Surges

Britain imported no natural gas from Russia in the past 12 months, a sharp contrast with other European countries that are still reliant on the fuel helping fund Moscow’s Ukraine war.

Record renewable energy production, which accounted for 46% of the UK’s electricity output in the past three months, was a key factor in reaching the milestone, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said in a statement.
