Today, at the #RoyalWelsh2024 we held a drop-in session on Local Area Energy Plans; an opportunity to find out more about how we can decarbonise both homes and businesses across Mid Wales. growingmidwales.co.uk/Energy+NetZero

We're recruiting a new Wales-based Analyst to support @nesta_uk's Sustainable Future mission - using innovation to decarbonise homes. Great role someone with solid research skills who's interested in branching out into new ways of working. DM for a chat. nesta.org.uk/jobs/analyst-a…

On #EarthDay2024 let's celebrate the huge strides we've made towards a net zero energy system. The UK's electricity generation was cleaner than ever in 2023, with renewables’ share increasing to a record 47.3% & 'low-carbon' generation (renewables+nuclear) increasing to 61.5%.

Do you work in the planning or delivery/installation of low-carbon domestic heat? We want your input on our latest work on how the UK should take a more coordinated approach. We're hosting workshops in Cardiff, Edinburgh, London and online throughout April. Sign up to join👇

Mid Wales sees mobile coverage upgrades with GMW supporting the Shared Rural Network. Projects in the Mid Wales Growth Deal Digital Programme complement SRN efforts, amplifying impact. Read full article on the 4G upgrades here: bit.ly/4aOhOWP

I've got a new blog up on @Nesta_Scotland's view on the Scottish Government's plans for a Heat in Buildings Bill, focussed on the proposal to require home buyers to decarbonise their heating. nesta.org.uk/blog/linking-h…

Rebalancing gas & electricity prices is essential for heat pump take up Plans to shift green levies into general taxation would reduce the cost of electricity from 24p per kWh under the current cap to 20p If gas stays at 6p per kWh the spark gap is 3.3 telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

Very happy to share that my #PhD #thesis 'Governing the GB digital energy revolution to support net zero by 2050' is now published openly online. The full thesis is accessible via: hdl.handle.net/10871/135631

To mark the launch of our new report Sharing Power, Spreading Wealth, we are now hosting a webinar about this new research supported by @FProvFoundation , featuring @Lydia_godden and @JoeKRossiter iwa.wales/our-work/work/…

Today, the Lords Science and Technology Committee publishes our report into long-duration energy storage, where we warn that urgent Government action is needed or energy security and Net Zero will be at risk.

Geraint Thomas shares @bargoedfarm1 Farm's own decarbonisation journey with our Decarbonisation event attendees today. They got to see the farm's solar PV, battery storage, electric vehicle charging points, biofuel generators and baling machine for on-site recycling.

Following a great discussion with @nationalgrid, @SPEnergyNetwork @WWUtilities & businesses sharing their key challenges around decarbonisation, our event has ended, thank you to all who supported. Missed the chance to attend? Get in touch: growingmidwales@ceredigion.gov.uk

Good #fuelpoverty regulation is nothing without adequate enforcement.

Wow! Renewables job growth in Scotland - from 27,000 to 42,000. At this rate of growth, clean energy jobs could be a year or two from overtaking oil & gas which employs around 70,000. And that's before all the jobs fitting heat pumps, ev chargers, etc bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

UK government casually adding £1.545 billion of funding for heat pumps this Monday morning. gov.uk/government/new…

Are climate neutral claims in the meat & dairy sectors too good to be true? In a paper I co-authored with @BokernDonal we scrutinize these recent claims, finding them misleading, to overlook key facts, & not aligned with the Paris Agreement. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

We generate the equivalent of approximately 59% of Wales' electricity from renewable sources. The aim is to meet all our electricity needs from renewable resources by 2035. Find out what else Wales is doing about climate change, visit: climateaction.gov.wales/climate-change…
