The global wind resource distribution approximately follows a Weibull distribution, with higher quality resources being much scarcer than medium to low quality ones. Countries with a large surface area have more extractable energy available from that area. We disaggregate the data in Fig. 1 into onshore (Fig. \ref{887626}) and off-shore (Fig. \ref{941195}) resources and convert the resource quality to wind speeds, that the available off-shore wind energy in the XXX wind resource bank 10 m/s speed band in the United Kingdom is 1108 TWh/year, while the total cumulative wind generation in the country was 49TWh in 2017XXX \cite{beis2018}. This output covered about 17% of the country's 2017XXX electricity consumption and an almost 50-50% split between onshore and off-shore wind.
