Wind power became Spain's main source of electricity for the first time ever this month, wind farms accounted for 21 percent of demand and reached a monthly record, 5.0 percent more than in March 2010.

Scotland got to 35% from renewables last year and a fair bit of UK energy seems to be going to the continent now through interconnectors to France and Belgium, which help to balance out supply and demand.
