⚡️ The green power pool is a potential solution to the energy crisis.
We recently spoke to @UCL_ISR’s @PDrummy to find out how this could work.
🎧 Listen to the podcast here and read the new @AldersgateGrp report below for more 👉 bit.ly/3Fos5wc
🚨 NEW REPORT: Our latest publication from @UCL_ISR publishes today.
⚡️ It outlines how energy market reform can significantly lower bills for vulnerable households + businesses by harnessing the power of UK #renewables
Read about the #GreenPowerPool 👇

Listen to me spouting throughts on how a Green Power Pool may be designed and implemented on the latest @GreenAllianceUK podcast! @UCL_ISR
🚨 NEW PODCAST: What is the green power pool?
The increasing use of renewables in our electricity system calls for a new approach.
We spoke to @UCL_ISR’s @PDrummy and @LibertySteelGrp’s Marian D’Auria to explore this further.

Electric cars are at a tipping point in terms of uptake and commercial viability, but much depends on purchase price subsidies and having the materials to make better batteries. UCL_ISR's @PDrummy explains more on @dwnews.

Good to see our research on energy crisis featured in #BBCPanorama.
🔦For analysis on huge electricity price hikes way above average generation costs - why & what to do - see our European Energy Crisis report.

The UK government's Net-Zero Strategy breached the Climate Change Act, the High Court has ruled
I've read the full 59-page judgement so you don't have to, as well as speaking with several lawyers
THREAD on the ruling & what it means
(TL;DR new strategy by Mar 2023)

The record-low price for UK offshore wind in this week's CfD auction is four times cheaper than running existing gas plants
The biggest ever auction secured enough capacity to meet 13% of UK demand & is expected to save consumers £bns
My summary:
carbonbrief.org/analysis-rec…
Quite something that offshore wind costs in the latest CfD round has fallen lower than onshore wind - an inversion very few would have predicted just a few years ago: reuters.com/business/energy/…

The UK has awarded contracts to #offshore wind companies at a record-low price ➡ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
What policies and innovations are behind this success? Find out in this @EeistP case study @PDrummy ➡ eeist.co.uk/download/667/.

Offshore wind getting contracts that are cheaper than onshore wind. Wind and solar all massively below current wholesale prices. Floating wind and tidal stream starting to deliver. All things various experts insisted were practically impossible only a few years ago. All happening
Paul Drummond retweeted
The IEA has raised its forecast for wind and solar growth (again)
Its latest sees wind + solar growth of 278GW this year, 16% higher than the May 2021 forecast
Moreover, growth will have effectively doubled in 5yrs from ~150GW/yr to ~300GW/yr

As a small personal hedge against continuing high energy prices, i've bough shares in a new wind farm via @RippleEnergy, which will directly lower my bills when it begins generating. If you'd like to do the same, my referral link is: rippleenergy.com?ogu=8161
