The load factor for electricity generation from both onshore and offshore wind in the United Kingdom has fluctuated since 2010. In 2022, the load factor of onshore wind decreased from the previous year to 27.4 percent. Load factors were typically lower for onshore wind. Load factors are the ratio of how much electricity was produced as a share of the total generating capacity
