The bar diagram offers a comparative analysis of the amount of money invested in sustainable energy in the United Kingdom during the period from 2008 to 2015.
A general overview reveals that over the given time frame, England’s wind power constituted the largest amount of investment; meanwhile, the smallest figure contributed to energy intelligent technologies.
Particularly, between 2008 and 2009, England did not invest in solar power. In 2008, the total budget was under 5 billion pounds and a haft of the investment distributed to wind energy. Energy-based technologies accounted for a small minority, just under 1 billion pounds. Similarly, wind energy was continuously allocated with a commendable 95% of the total investment, over 5 billion pounds. Energy-driven tech and other energy accounted for 5%.
From 2010 to 2015, the United Kingdom commenced investing to solar power and the observed information of each year was starkly different. Particularly, in 2010, England still invested their significant amount of money on wind power, just over 5 billion pounds, and the other sources of energy constituted a minimal figure. In stark contrast, in 2011, this trend altered, with nearly a half of the total investment spent on solar power, at 3 billion pounds, being similar with the figure for other energy. Wind power just made up roughly 2 billion pounds. However, this figure experienced a dramatic increase from 2 billion in 2011 to about 11.5 billion in 2015. Meanwhile, although there was a considerable investment in 2011, solar power had remained until 2013, before rising to 4 billion in 2014 and then decreasing to 3 billion in 2015. Energy-based tech and other power were stable over the given period.
