Boom: 🤯 North Scotland has now run at zero-carbon electricity for over 3 weeks continuously. That is 21 days and 18 hours, or 1,044 consecutive half-hour periods, at 0 gCO₂/kWh from 04 May 2026 22:00 to 26 May 2026 16:00 UTC. This is not a single windy afternoon or a cherry-picked snapshot. North Scotland has now recorded: • 669 strict zero-carbon days since 2020 • 147 strict zero-carbon days in 2024 • 128 in 2025 • 82 already in 2026 YTD During this record run the generation mix was: • 96.2% wind • 3.8% solar • 0.0% fossil This is what long term grid decarbonisation looks like. Not a momentary spike, but a sustained shift in how electricity systems operate. Data: NESO Carbon Intensity API regional half-hour data analysed from Sept 2017 to May 2026. #NetZero #CleanEnergy #Renewables #Scotland













We have provisionally broken the UK record for highest daily minimum temperature in May... again 😮 Temperatures didn't fall below 21.3°C overnight at Kenley Airfield, making it a 'tropical night' (no lower than 20°C). Remarkably, the record was also broken yesterday.

Balcony solar was already super cheap.. ..NOW battery prices for balcony solar have collapsed. This one works to $145/KWh. That's almost the same price as grid battery🤯 Yes, it's a one-time offer, yes it's a pretty dumb battery, but wow...
