Summary
The week from Wednesday 17 June to Monday 22 June averaged about 24.0 GW of measured generation, with renewables averaging 40.5% of measured output. The strongest renewable day in the available data was Friday 19 June, when wind, solar and hydro together averaged 48.8% of measured generation. Gas was highest on Monday 22 June and lowest on Friday 19 June.
For flexible electricity use, the cleanest opportunities are likely to appear when wind is strong, gas is low and demand is not at a peak. This is the foundation for future EV-charging guidance, clean-electricity alerts and weekly newsletter summaries.
The reporting period in key numbers
| Average measured generation | ~24.0 GW across available settlement-period aggregates |
|---|---|
| Average renewable share | 40.5% |
| Highest renewable share | 48.8% on Friday 19 June |
| Highest average wind output | ~7.6 GW on Wednesday 17 June |
| Highest average solar output | ~4.5 GW on Sunday 21 June |
| Highest average gas output | ~10.6 GW on Monday 22 June |
What the reporting-period figures show
- Renewables were strongest on Friday 19 June, when wind, solar and hydro averaged 48.8% of measured generation.
- Wind was the largest swing factor in the available feed, peaking at about 7.6 GW average output on Wednesday 17 June.
- Solar was strongest on Sunday 21 June, averaging about 4.5 GW across settlement periods after embedded-solar backfill where needed.
- Gas averaged about 8.7 GW across the period, rising highest on Monday 22 June and falling lowest on Friday 19 June.
- Measured generation was highest on Monday 22 June, at roughly 26.8 GW average output.
Renewable and gas comparisons — not carbon rankings
Best low-carbon proxy: Friday 19 June
Historical carbon-intensity aggregates are not yet part of this weekly report feed, so EnergyMix.info uses renewable share and gas output as cautious proxies. Friday 19 June had the strongest renewable share at 48.8%.
Lowest gas proxy: Friday 19 June
Gas generation averaged about 7.6 GW on Friday 19 June. Lower gas periods are often cleaner, but the report does not yet claim this was the lowest-carbon period without historical carbon-intensity validation.
Higher gas output — not a carbon measurement
Highest gas proxy: Monday 22 June
Gas averaged about 10.6 GW on Monday 22 June. Gas-heavy periods are usually higher-carbon, but this is labelled as a proxy until historical carbon-intensity highs/lows are added to the report feed.

Original publication introduction and methodology note
A measured weekly report for EnergyMix.info using the available 7-day historical generation feed for Wednesday 17 June to Monday 22 June.
This report is generated from the available 7-day historical generation feed and validated against external public data. Carbon-intensity highs/lows and interconnector summaries should be treated as future additions unless they are present as validated historical aggregates.
