<p>DECC has published projections of electricity generated by renewables up to 2035
as part of the 2015 Updated Energy and Emissions Projection, as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong><em>Year</em></strong></p></td><td><p><strong><em>2020</em></strong></p></td><td><p><strong><em>2030</em></strong></p></td><td><p><strong><em>2035</em></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Renewables
share</p></td><td><p>38%</p></td><td><p>41%</p></td><td><p>42%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Source:
Annex J of the 2015 Updated Energy and Emissions Projections, available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/477618/Annex-j-total-electricity-gen-by-source.xls"

Note that these figures include a small amount of electricity generation from non-renewable
wastes.</em></p><p> </p><p>Projections of the electricity mix so far into the future
are subject to considerable uncertainty as they depend on uncertain factors such as
the degree of cost reduction, fossil fuel prices and future government policy.</p>
