How many energy incidents are recorded in the United Kingdom?
305 entries: 117 grid infrastructure, 91 solar, 61 wind and 14 battery or hybrid.
Counted from the register's published entries on 2026-11-03. Every entry is written from published news and trade reporting and lists its sources. Every United Kingdom entry.
Read the count as a count of what is recorded. The register is new and has been filling in an archive, so a rise across years is a measure of the register, not of the world, and a country with open reporting appears more often than one without. The methodology says how entries are found, written and checked.
