<p>The table below shows electricity supplied in the UK by fuel type for the calendar
year 2014.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p><strong><em>UK electricity
generation by fuel type</em></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td> </td><td colspan="2"><p><strong>2014</strong></p><p>

of hydro (natural flow), wind and solar (which includes wave tidal) and bioenergy.
This makes up 65.2 TWh (a 19.2% share) of total generation.</p><p><em>Source: Energy
