Regarding micro generation on buildings etc, only those installations which feed into the national grid through the FIT (feed in tariff) can be measured. The figures show this was 15.2MW, the over 95% of which was PV generated. This cannot be compared as there are no figures from the previous year, but to put it into context, the total renewable generation was 4.7TWh !

Hope this helps.

Or does it also result from the pricing and marketing of electricity from nonrenewable sources?

It also occurs to me that if they use net metering they would not be able to measure the amount of electricity generated by solar arrays on buildings and houses.
