Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

I am seeking data on how much extra power (MW) was added to the grid each year. Specifically would like for the years 2009 to 2026 the extra power (gross not net) added to the grid through additional power stations. Ideally divided into renewable and non-renewable.

Many thanks

Yours faithfully,

David Farrar
