Interesting how low Electricity Demand per capita is in the UK. Guess that is related to us using gas for heating ? 🤔

Global investment in electricity generation from wind almost doubles in 10 years. And Solar - Wow 🤔

Don't often post about Nuclear but just to remember how lots of new Renewables by 2030 are needed just to replace the UK's incredibly creaky old Nuclear Power stations 🤔 www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/edfs-...

Bit over the top to say the UK is relying on flywheels 🙂 but they are part of the solution in a fossil free grid 🤔 share.google/3Qk95P1uPHJe...

The controversial new Electricity Pylon link between new wind farms off the UK coast and East Anglia/London now has it's final route decided 🤔 share.google/DEc2JM6AQghF...

I liked this description from WindEnergyIreland as why more wind means lower wholesale electricity prices 🤔

This is a bit of a long read but lots of stuff in here about grid synchronisation 🙂 spectrum.ieee.org/grid-scale-b...

The target for the next round 'AR7' of the UK offshore wind auction is 6GW. Results around the end of the year 🤔

I seem to have missed this one so a bit late. From July 🙂 share.google/2VFKkszE4C12...

Solar going big time 🙂 ember-energy.org/latest-updat...

Renewables will be the World's top generator of power by 2026, or even maybe 2025, overtaking coal for the first time ever 🤔

Congratulations to Spain, which has crossed the 100% renewable threshold for its national grid. This is an important step towards a full-time 💯 renewable grid. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋🌊 www.pv-magazine.com/2025/04/22/s...

Been a long time a-coming 🤔

Eurostat release today shows that renewable energy was the leading source (47.3%) of all electricity production in the EU. In contrast, coal-based energy production shrunk by 10-15%. ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web...

A REMARKABLE JOURNEY: Not long ago, the UK’s power sector was the country’s largest source of carbon emissions. Today, it has become the smallest emitter among all sectors.

Busy day today - AI Energy Council meeting. We are going to need some bigger turbines 🤔

Some things make your heart sing 🙂

"Emerging players like Indonesia, Chile, Guernsey" Anyone else have "New York, Paris, Peckham" vibes 😀 Sorry if you are now humming theme tune. Potential swing of 8.5GW-25.6GW AR7 shows how knife edge it is on upcoming decisions.

I think we got down to about 1.6% gas in 2024 at one stage. Aiming for better in 2025 🙂 www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Fathers day wind turbine dad joked, not sorry at all 🥁🥁🥁

A bit of an overseas story 🙂

It's a Sunday and a Bank Holiday but still pretty incredible 🤔

"Germany is pioneering agrivoltaics (also called agrophotovoltaics), a system where solar panels are installed above farmland, allowing crops to be cultivated below while simultaneously producing renewable energy. "

Not exclusively but hugely affected by the move to Renewables 🙂
