3 yr payback at this rate!

Here's a small index of #environmental altruism:

Although the current financial model of installing domestic #solarpanels requires a pretty long-term view of any 'return' partly due to low feed-in rates for surplus #electricty generated, partly due to the partial withdrawal of state support in the UK & partly due to installation costs, nevertheless people are increasingly (again) installing where the only short/medium term gain is the #greenenergy benefit itself.

Altruists, I salute you!

The lack of a proper UK #industrial strategy in one graph:

I think we can all agree that #batteries & associated #electricty storage technologies are part of the future of #green tech.

So what do the UK's plans look like for developing & building this vital #technology?

Frankly, piss-poor!

But that's what you get when your Govt. thinks the really important stuff is happening in the #culturewars!

The Power of the Ocean: Exploring the Potential of Tidal Energy

Utilizing the energy of tides and tidal currents to produce electricity, tidal power is a desirable and renewable energy source. Tidal generators are often found in narrow waterways or estuaries and require fast currents or a considerable sea level swing. The challenges is sea level rise which could threaten the viability of tidal power.

#News #electricty Highest energy demand recorded in Sri Lanka: The highest energy demand in recent times has been recorded in Sri Lanka with a net generation of 49.53 GWh reported yesterday and an estimated energy demand of 50 GWh forecast for this morning.

Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said a net generation of 49.53 GWh was required for power generation yesterday.

The Minister also said that the actual demand recorded early this morning forecasts an… https://colombogazette.com/2023/04/20/highest-energy-demand-recorded-in-sri-lanka/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

People, if you are making serious efforts to save energy, make sure that you are taking meter readings and submitting them every month. Our actual gas usage for the last month is 13% of the usage estimated by the supplier.

Good morning! The electricity outlook today starts with an overall carbon intensity of 98g per kWh owing to 58% of the power generation still coming from #wind. The carbon will be increasing slowly through today and into tomorrow but still remaining under 200g. The wholesale price is MINUS 5.7p/kWh (the suppliers are paid for us using it) but you still pay 33p. Source: https://www.carbonintensity.org.uk #energy #electricty #climate
