Petition to get Ofgem to pay back over £4bn of wrongly awarded profits - we’ve been overcharged for a while and it’s seriously affecting those who can’t afford it https://www.change.org/p/give-us-back-our-4bn-ofgem #EnergyCosts #CostOfLiving #UKenergy
UK government hires ‘nudge unit’ to help dispel heat pump myths
"misinformation is impeding uptake.
Details of a previously unpublished research by the Department for Energy found that individuals who self-reported that they knew a fair amount or a lot about heat pumps were less likely to want one. However, people who correctly answered a simple knowledge question about heat pumps were more likely to want one."
"Iberdrola...Europe’s largest electricity company set out plans last year to invest £12bn in the UK before 2028 to rewire Britain’s ageing power grids, and build new renewable energy projects."
Investment is incoming from across the world in nuclear, solar and wind power, EV charging points and battery energy storage.
Today is the launch of #NESO (#carbonfree #UKGrid). The key elements of its #strategy must be; 1/ #Decarbonization of all #Generating sources.
2/ #Electrification of Everything in our lives.
3/ Fostering #BehavioralChange in respect to Consumption, Efficiency & Sustainability.
Will they succeed with so many #grifters still in the picture?

UK reaches 250,000 certified heat pump installations
"over 30,000 certified #heatpumps were installed between January and July 2024, representing a 45% increase from the same period in 2023; this puts the UK on track for a record-breaking 2024 for heat pump installations. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides up to £7,500 to households looking to switch their gas boilers to heat pumps, and uptake rates have skyrocketed following its implementation"

"People living in a typical three-bedroom, semi-detached newly built house would save an average of £1,341 a year if it was equipped with solar panels, a heat pump, high-grade insulation and battery storage."
A study by MCS Foundation calls for building new homes to low carbon standards to be mandatory.
Labour’s vision of a green energy superpower - with East Anglia at its heart - is gaining momentum, but can we scale up fast enough? Stephen McNair reports.

Tories: We'll instruct Ofgem to have a price cap that rises and falls on a whim, have that price set by international gas prices then decommission all the gas storage facilities.
Labour: That's a recipe for over-expensive energy and massive fuel poverty! We'll cut the Winter Fuel Allowance as well.
‘I don’t want this #landscape to change’: the #UKEnergy head making the local case for #CleanPower -
The critical point in danger of being lost, she argues, is that everyone will benefit if cheap, clean #energy is built and if #ClimateImpacts, which will ultimately be more destructive to the #countryside than pylons, are minimised.'

I am a satisfied customer. Great tech, great mission and their "journey" has been impressive.

Looks like there is a huge price plunge (sub zero electricity prices) tomorrow afternoon
That's what I like to see, almost neutral cost this month so far due to solar export.
And that includes charging the car as well. However ignores standing charge.
Octopus CEO launches the Cosy 6 heat pump | WIRED Energy Tech Summit highlights
They've got the costs so low that purchase and installation of the Cosy 6 (after the government grant) has dropped to £3k (for an average house with an up-to-date hot water cylinder).
Edit: Now the UK government has upped the Boiler Replacement Program from £5k to £7.5k the above quote has dropped to just £500.
Shell Energy's UK consumer business likely to be bought by Octopus Energy. It seems to me the savvy thing to do is to switch to Octopus now and get a joining bonus £50 bonus.
Switch with this link and we both get £50 bill credit:

"Hundreds of the #UK’s leading scientists have urged the prime minister, Rishi #Sunak, to halt the licensing of new #oil and #gas developments in the UK, ahead of his anticipated launch of a revised net zero and energy security strategy on Thursday.
[They] warn that there must be no new developments of oil and gas, for the world to limit #GlobalHeating to 1.5C above preindustrial levels."

Ofgem sets new price cap prompting calls for energy bill help
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64748135
What a waste of space Ofgem are.
Given the price of gas, the cap could have at the very least been left unchanged, if not cut, rather than increased.
We've all been paying over the odds for months already here in the UK.
