UK wind power generation set a new record of 14.3 GW on Saturday, while average generation was 13.3 GW, according to S&P Global Platts Analytics data.
Overall, wind supplied 35.7% of the supply mix Mar 17
Metered, embedded wind also hit fresh record Mar 17
The previous record was seen on March 1 at 13.8 GW.
The maximum metered wind output was 10.9 GW, outstripping the 10.6 GW output on March 1.
Operational metered data is used to estimate the half-hourly contribution of fuel types to the overall electricity fuel mix. The wind sector can see generation levels can vary considerably from one hour to the next.
National Grid said wind provided 35.7% of the UK's electricity on Saturday, while gas produced 20.3%, nuclear supplied 17.6%, coal 12.9% and imports 6%.
When the 'Beast from the East' was at its height on March 2, wind supplied 29.1% of UK electricity, followed by coal 23.0%, gas 20.4%, nuclear 14.7% and imports 6.3%.
Embedded wind generation hit 3.5 GW on Saturday, above the 3.4 GW seen on January 24, according to Platts Analytics.
Embedded generation refers to the process of generating electricity at a specific location and then connecting that supply into the electricity network.
There are a number of different generator types that can be connected to the distribution network.
