1. targeted🔌support needed, esp in P.T. sector 2. more🚶♀️🚴infra needed 3. high🔌scenarios up to 56% ⬆️in ⚡️ demand by 2040 above IEA projection (3.9x⬆️ overall) 4. such scenarios ⬇️ tax revenue by 41% but save 69% ($4.2bn/yr) by 2050 on fuel import bill (relative to 🛢️scenario)

Today 65% of the UK’s power is wind and solar. That has made energy so cheap, Agile customers are literally being paid as much as 20p per unit to use it up, two days in a row. Green energy is fair energy too — we need to rapidly invest in more renewables and a smarter grid.

stark reality check from @theCCCuk --> table 2 + subsequent detail a really useful piece of analysis on policy goals vs. delivery
Today we publish @theCCCuk annual report on progress in reducing UK emissions. We reflect on policy progress in a year that brought the UK’s first recorded 40C day and spiralling fossil fuel costs. And there’s a reality check on the acceleration needed for 2030 and beyond. 🧵

Incredibly useful workshop today with expert stakeholders in Nairobi, developing integrated transport storylines for Kenya. All to go towards developing decision support tools & models to promote equitable low-emissions growth. Stay tuned! Massive thanks to all participants 🙏
What an engaging day. Energy experts have finalized their scenarios and presented how they would like their 2050 to look like in terms of #sustainabletransport and #energy. Presenting on behalf of their groups. From left @plannerwakaba, @Samwweru and @ondanjewarren.

Good morning, hivemind! Does anyone know (roughly) when we in GB had the highest penetration of electric storage heaters on economy 7 tariffs? hard to find this info from the days of yore... maybe @JDFLOWER_ENERGY knows? #energy #heating #ukenergy

Behold, the energy transition: Wind and solar now make up 75% of global electricity capacity growth, while coal has fallen to just 4% (Figures from @BloombergNEF)

Great _initiative_ here from Climate Compatible Growth and the Green Grids Initiative ☀️
/1 The OSeMOSYS Global Interactive Platform - https://t.co/xUm817wgqj A platform for approved users to generate global electricity system models. These models can then be seen by everyone. A vital tool for understanding renewable energy variability.
