📢 Octopus Energy is driving action to achieve the global #3xRenewabels target One of Europe’s largest investors in green energy, managing enough renewable generators to power around 2.2 million homes, Octopus Energy invests in billions worth of wind turbines and solar panels. One of its goals is that the UK can be powered 100% green, even when the wind's not blowing. In order to get there, Octopus Energy launched a one-of-a-kind smart trials and tariffs for EVs and smart homes. Additionally, it is driving cutting-edge energy research at the Centre for Net Zero, and creating truly affordable green heat pumps and training thousands of engineers to install the future of green heating. Octopus Energy has now joined GRA’s #Time4Action campaign to accelerate action on the global target to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. “Our global dependence on fossil fuels catapulted the world into an energy crisis. The only way to get out of it for good is by turbocharging the rollout of cheap, homegrown renewables. This is a multi-trillion dollar investment opportunity and private capital is ready to be deployed. We now need to slash the red tape and grid connection times to unleash its full potential,” said Zoisa North-Bond, CEO of Octopus Energy Generation.

🔋 MPs launch inquiries to boost clean energy jobs and community renewables The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee is diving deep into how the UK can prepare a skilled workforce for its ambitious target to decarbonise the grid by 2030. 👷‍♂️ Building a green workforce: MPs are calling on industry and education leaders to weigh in on the government’s efforts to prepare for green jobs in areas such as renewable energy, smart grids, and low-carbon heating. 💡 Supporting community renewables: A parallel inquiry will address the potential of community energy projects. The Committee seeks innovative ideas on financial support, legal frameworks, and reducing grid connection wait times to unleash community-led energy. 📅 Evidence can be submitted until 13 January 2025 here https://lnkd.in/dyVK_nbE and here https://lnkd.in/eyTx37QU #NetZero #CleanEnergy #GreenJobs #CommunityRenewables #Decarbonisation https://lnkd.in/dEwxD6pK

EDF is the largest generator of zero carbon electricity in the UK. Its Wholesale Market Services (WMS) unit is the bridge between the supply and generation sides of the business. But they needed to improve the accessibility and usability of the vast amount of data in its possession... This data is key to more effective pricing and ensuring electricity isn't wasted. By enabling data-centric decision making, Mesh-AI helped EDF unlock better insights and be in the strongest position to help Britain achieve Net Zero. "This means that we're able to get more accurate insights, and perform analysis that we weren't previously able to do."

🌍 National Energy System Operator's (NESO) 'Clean Power 2030' report couldn’t be any clearer - our power stations and plans to invest billions in renewable flexible electricity and #carbonremovals have a critical role to play in delivering the UK Government’s clean power target and wider climate goals.   💡 Drax Power Station’s secure #biomass generation, and our intention to double the capacity of our pumped #hydro site, Cruachan Power Station, are essential components of the pathways that NESO have set out.   🌿 Plus, NESO highlights that the deployment of #BECCS is required to meet the Government’s carbon removal targets. At Drax, we aim to install at least two units of BECCS at Drax Power Station, with the first operational in 2030 removing 4 million tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere per year.   🔎 Find out more via the link in comments.

The Local Power Plan promises to deliver 8 gigawatts of local and community owned energy, enough to supply over 4 million homes. This aspect of the UK Government’s energy agenda has the potential to decrease the UK’s reliance on expensive fossil fuels and bring down bills in local communities. Yet there are regulatory and legal challenges that make it difficult for community projects to sell their power locally. Our new blog sets out examples of how community energy organisations are overcoming these challenges and turning their clean power into lower bills.

EDF and Octopus Energy launch Electrify Britain campaign EDF and Octopus Energy have joined forces to launch Electrify Britain – a campaign organisation dedicated to significantly reducing energy bills, reducing climate emissions and driving economic growth through replacing gas, diesel and petrol with widespread electrification. Electrifying Britain’s home heating, transport and local communities presents a golden opportunity to cut energy bills. According to the companies, electrified homes that use heat pumps can save hundreds of pounds compared to gas boilers and EVs are already £1,000 cheaper to run annually compared to petrol vehicles. Electrification is crucial to achieving net zero emissions. Currently, transport accounts for 23% of UK emissions, and domestic heating contributes 15%. Electrify Britain’s Key Priorities are to: - Make Electricity Pricing Fair - Electrify Home Heat - Electrify Transport - Electrify Communities.

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has urged the UK government to boost renewables, to avoid relying on foreign energy. Their most recent report shows that renewables are key for energy security. In 2024, 66% of the UK's energy is imported. Without cutting oil and gas demand, this could rise to 82% by 2030. The ECIU recommends focusing on renewables, home insulation, heat pumps, and electric cars to keep import reliance to 68% by 2030. Dr. Simon Cran-McGreehin of ECIU says, “British wind and solar energy are key to our energy security.” He stresses the need to help oil and gas workers transition to offshore wind jobs. Supporting clean technologies now will improve energy security and reduce energy bills. Let's push for renewables for a secure and sustainable future. #energysecurity #renewables #netZero
