Nearly half of Irish electricity was generated by renewable sources in April, marking the third consecutive month in which renewable generation met around half of electricity demand businesspost.ie/esg-energy/a…

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

Great piece of policy this. Gas prices have driven wholesale prices sky high in recent years, and the more cheap renewables we can get on to the grid, the more they get pushed out.

Great news for households producing their own renewable energy. The €400 income disregard for microgeneration is now permanent. Meaning you can earn up to €400 tax-free by selling power back to the grid☀️⚡

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.

Three and a half BILLION to invest in the electricity grid announced in today's revised National Development Plan. A stronger grid means more clean, affordable and secure power for Irish families and businesses. Big win to get over the line by Minister @DarraghOBrienTD.

Germany's emissions intensity of electricity generation fell to an all-time low in June 2025 of 262 gCO2e/kWh 🇩🇪⚡️ The reasons: - Record high solar (31%) - June record for wind (27%) - Record low coal (12.4%)

- Oil price: Sustained low oil prices have historically correlated with investment into renewables as investors seek value - Value: lower prices for assets this year is showing good value for those investors Lets see where this goes over the next 12.

Offshore wind has had a tough couple of years, but the fundamentals are shifting now towards an upcycle: - Cheaper money: Euro short term rate has nearly halved in 12 months - Cheaper inputs: Steel is down nearly 50% from its pandemic highs five years ago

The IEA projects data centre power demand to more than double by 2030. Global investment in data centres has nearly doubled since 2022 - half a trillion dollars in 2024. A massive opportunity for economies with the ability to scale renewables and grid infrastructure quickly.

Chinese companies installed 93 gigawatt of solar and 27 gigawatt of wind energy in a single month in May theguardian.com/world/2025/j…

China breaks more records with surge in solar and wind power

Between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey

In the UK, retail electricity company @OctopusEnergy is now offering a £299 / month lease on a BYD Dolphin EV, + free home charging, + vehicle to grid. They're using the vehicle battery as a VPP, to balance the grid and shift peak electricity loads. Sweet deal all around.

To all the reply guys saying how renewables are a terrible idea. I hate to break it to you but >90% of new generation capacity built is now renewable energy, mainly solar & wind. Data from @IRENA
