"The boom was driven by applications to build new battery storage, which almost doubled to 28.6GW this year from 14.9GW in 2024...The record-breaking surge in planning approvals signals real momentum in the UK’s energy transition."
Renewable energy project approvals hit record high in GB in 2025, data shows
Weirdly, the price of gas is coming down at the start of 2026, but the price of electricity is increasing.
Makes no sense to me. #UKenergy

"Many joined the queue without having the right planning permissions or financing in place to move the project forward, leaving “shovel-ready” projects stuck in the backlog."

Interesting commentary by David Toke on analysis about UK wholesale energy prices and the likely impact of renewables. Quite nerdy but a good read for those interested - https://open.substack.com/pub/davidtoke/p/how-wind-power-cuts-uk-wholesale?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

UK Government gives the go ahe...
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Details of a previously unpublished research by the Department for Energy found that individuals who self-reported that they knew a fair amount or a lot about heat pumps were less likely to want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"
https://www.current-news.co.uk/uk-heat-pump-installations-250000/
"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.

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.

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.'
