This statistic displays the electrical generation from biomass in Great Britain from 2014 to 2018. The generation from biomass increased annually during this period, rising from 7.1 terawatt-hours in 2014 to 16.1 terawatt-hours in 2017.
In 2017, gross inland consumption of solid biomass energy in the United Kingdom amounted to 6.7 million tons of oil equivalent. This was a slight increase from the previous year.
