Persistent cloud drops British Isles solar output in early February
Cloud-bearing weather systems dominated the British Isles, significantly reducing irradiance and solar generation across the UK and Ireland between 9 and 18 February 2025. Persistent cloud cover first arrived from the east under the influence of a Scandinavian high-pressure system and followed by clouds from the Atlantic. This combination resulted in historically low PV output, with Ireland most severely impacted, according to analysis using the Solcast API.
Between 9 and 18 February, solar generation across the British Isles reached its lowest levels relative to capacity in at least a decade. Analysis of the distribution network in the UK revealed that all Distribution Network Operator regions, except for UK Power Networks
(UKPN) in southeast England, recorded their lowest PV generation for this time of year in ten years. The UKPN region saw its second-lowest February performance in the same period.
The Northern Power Grid (NPG) distribution area, covering northeast England, was among the hardest hit, with generation down 56% compared to normal levels. Other Distribution Network Operator areas, including Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN), Scottish and
Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), Electricity North West Limited Grid (ENWL), and National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) also saw reductions of 30%-39%.
