The UK's clean energy transition is only as good as the data behind it.
The Smart Energy Data Service (SENSE) is building that foundation, pooling datasets on EV access, real-world energy use & mobility patterns across the UK to give researchers & innovators a clearer picture.

Net Zero is just a bad name for the opportunity of the Century - the Green Economy. This latest report from the CBI (not some leftie leaning think tank - the Confederation of British Industry..) makes this clear - already our Green Economy supports 1 million jobs and adds £100 Billion a year to our economy - half a Trillion £s of investment is poised to take place due to our commitment to this Net Zero thing. Net Zero suggests giving stuff up, the green economy is actually all about opportunity, jobs and GDP. Tony Blair and Nigel Farage have at least one thing in common - being dead wrong about Net Zero.

There has never been a more urgent time to focus on energy innovation.
Wholesale gas prices are climbing. Fixed-rate energy deals are disappearing. Household bills are set to rise again this summer, this time with the cause tracing back to the Strait of Hormuz.

There's been a lot to keep up with in energy policy lately.
Ed Miliband's plan to break the link between electricity and gas prices. The Reformed National Pricing delivery plan. The Ofgem review. All landing at once.

Most heat pump installs aren't failing because of the technology.
They're failing because of a lack of space for a cylinder, tricky pipework changes, and lengthy installation times that end in many consumers just giving up on their chance for cleaner heat.

Their products divert surplus solar power to wherever it's most useful: your EV, your hot water tank, your home battery or your heating. Easy to install, easy to use, with support if you need it.
Chris Brierley retweeted
The UK has millions of homes with solar panels, but few are actually making the most of what they generate.
myenergi is changing that.

EXC: Ministers have unpicked our electricity system … but can they now sort it fast enough?
We hear a lot from this government about the race for renewables because of Russia and the Middle East. But it’s hit a pretty big snag

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.
