Hm? You must use a very high capacity factor.

I just started into reading your link; there's a graph saying "Wind & wave" was at 7.1 TWh in 2008.

More precise figures for wind only later: 4.236 TWh in 2006, 5.288 TWh in 2007, 7.114 TWh in 2008. That was 1.5 resp. 1.9% of supply.

Had a quick flick, saw that wind was 5.5% of renewables, and renewables were 10.3% of supply, created total in TWh from claimed output of nuclear stations which they claim to be 13% of the total of UK the UKs nuclear sector might have been overstating their output.
