I switched our electricity tariff to Octopus Energy’s agile tariff last week, and now I’m childishly excited that tomorrow afternoon we’ll be getting paid to use electricity! #OctopusEnergy #AgileTariff #GreenElectricity

Does anyone in the UK want to own a bit of a wind farm?

rippleenergy.com/ have opened the share offer for Whitelaw Brae wind farm.

The basic idea is you own a bit of the wind farm and the electricity generated is your, so you get a discount on your electricity bill.

Several energy suppliers are on board, so you are not tied to any one supplier.

Puerto Rico's utility, Luma, will replace 1.5 million hurricane-damaged meters with smart meters, funded by a $786 million FEMA allocation. The initiative aims to enhance system reliability, customer services, and resilience.

Iceland's regulator argues what is happening here is "Double Claiming", not "Double Counting", and that's allowed by their interpretation of the rules. AIB seems to accept that. This severely questions the usefulness and legitimacy of green electricity certificates and pretty much all green electricity tariffs in Europe. All details in my latest article: industrydecarbonization.com/ne

Last week the #Spanish power grid generated enough #greenelectricity to cover over 100% of Spanish peninsular demand for 9 hours. This milestone has occurred before but never for such a prolonged period.

It just occurred to me that we should hook up the corpse of #Nyebevan to a #turbine, because he must be spinning in his grave so fast over the state of the #NHS we could generate a pile of #greenelectricity off him.

@amca01 Fwiw, i went #vegetarian >decade ago, gave away my car a few yrs ago, pay extra for #GreenElectricity, & some months ago began only having weekly showers [cold sponge washes all over, in-between]. Years ago i began minimising my fixed gas space-heating in winter [& wear LOTS of thick layers]. All that's going ok.

This is NOT going so well. Am seeing if i can replace using my gas-hob #kettle for all my tea & coffee, by boiling water in #microwave. So far, bloody inconvenient & messy! 🤦‍♀️

"It was 135 years ago that a Scottish engineer, James Blyth, invented the first wind-powered electrical generator. In July 1887 he built a windmill attached to a dynamo to light his holiday cottage in the village of Marykirk in Scotland, and even stored the power in a battery invented by the French engineer Camille Alphonse Faure."

Rough English translation of the main points:
1. Feed part of the #greenelectricity produced back into the Namibian Power grid. #Namibia currently imports 60 to 70 per cent of its electricity demand from #SA (mostly #FossilFuel).

This time every year, @IEA produce their World Energy Outlook. Buried on p. 123 of yesterday’s 524 page report is a clear message to policymakers: net zero by 2050 needs a quick scale up of building retrofits with #HeatPumps #RooftopSolar #GreenElectricity & no new gas boilers
