Original: Analysis: Wind and solar save UK from gas imports worth £5.9bn during Hormuz crisis
An analysis by Carbon Brief finds that wind and solar generation spared the UK from buying £5.9bn worth of imported gas during the Strait of Hormuz crisis, which threatened global oil and gas shipping routes. The findings are being cited as evidence that renewable energy capacity improves Britain's energy security and shields consumers from geopolitical shocks.
