@robhawkes How about Eco install vs turbo?

Random Internet person: "But this one unsubstantiated datapoint about a single heat pump that 'someone I know' / my plumber mate / [insert random third-party here] says they're shit" How about real, near-realtime data from every single one of the many thousands of real Cosy heat pumps already installed by Octopus Energy in real homes? That's a really big dose of real. That's what we've done with the Cosy Heat Pump Fleet Performance Dashboard, released today. Let's talk about what the data says right now, not some hypothetical argument about what it might say tomorrow. Why hide behind marketing speak and hypotheticals when we can show you what the real data says about real heat pump installations in real homes? There aren't many energy suppliers out there who will go out of their way to put data like this out for the public to see. And when the request for this transparency comes right from the top, you know you're in the right place. It's a reminder of why I've spent the last 4+ years at Octopus. We did this around direct debit transparency with Balance Forecast, one of the first projects I worked on when I joined Octopus all those years ago. And we're still doing it today with this heat pump dashboard. It's been a pleasure working on this project and helping with the visualisations to help break down the frankly insane amount of raw data into insights around fleet-wide efficiency over time and how performance changes with the temperature. It also tops the list as the dashboard with the longest name that I've ever worked on…

@BelenRosasAlva2 @EdConwaySky Except what happened to the NBP during Ukraine? It shot up. Blows your argument to hell. The producers price gouge us whenever they can.

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky Obviously fade anything that says “cheap renewables” in it. The UK gas price is NBP, LNG is more expensive because it needs to be regasified. If we have abundant pipeline gas coming from the North Sea then LNG won’t set the price - Drill Baby Drill

📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea. Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get? Our MEGA primer on the North Sea👇 Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right. Let me know what you think

@northseaweather @EdConwaySky Piped supply from the north sea is cheaper to produce and transport. Doesn't mean they'll charge us any less for it, when the market means we have no alternative. They can and do charge what they like in times of right supply. Just like they did in Ukraine.

Piped gas from the UK and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea are generally cheaper than LNG. It’s irrelevant if both North Sea piped gas and LNG were at the same price. The additional transportation costs (postage and packaging) are considerably less expensive than that of LNG. The law of supply and demand dictates prices. That is why it is important for non OPEC countries to produce as much oil and gas as possible. It would be foolish to believe that if only OPEC produced oil and gas there would be plentiful cheap supply. They would control supply exclusively, and it will be far from cheap and plentiful. We are lucky the USA had stepped up production making a main global supplier, cushioning the global market to an extent. A far as price gouging goes, look no further than the UK government who take 55p of every £1 you spend on petrol. The recent increases in prices of oil and gas alone, will provide a £3 billion windfall in tax revenue for the UK treasury. If they had any intention of cushioning consumers, a simple sliding adjustment to energy taxation would suffice. Ukraine price spike was short lived and due to supply and demand.

@SlainteMhath5 @KevinCa28118279 @EdConwaySky If we electrify Scotlands transport and heating quickly it's less of a problem

@LewisStanding1 @KevinCa28118279 @EdConwaySky We currently spend millions upon millions every year for wind farm developers to stop their turbines from turning because our grid and infrastructure can't cope with the load. You are right - offshore wind is the future - but it's a hugely challenging proposition.

@SlainteMhath5 @EdConwaySky Compared to combustion of the fuel? No it's not

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky That's nonsense. The environmental impact of transporting LNG from Qatar and the USA is enormous.

@BelenRosasAlva2 @EdConwaySky It's exactly what happened during Ukraine eciu.net/analysis/brief…).

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky What makes you think LNG sets the price?

@KevinCa28118279 @EdConwaySky Short termism, when the future is offshore wind.

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky At least we earn some tax at the field. Also good for industry workers and their economy activities

@northseaweather @EdConwaySky Do you not understand that the private companies see if we don't buy theirs , we have to buy LNG. And therefore they up their prices to the LNG rate and price gouge us, exactly as they did during Ukraine.

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky Do you not understand that LNG is more expensive. Just think of it as an additional charge for postage and packaging.

@SlainteMhath5 @EdConwaySky The environmental footprint is not significantly different. They only fool you into thinking so by talking about the transportation emissions only. But they make up such a small amount of overall emissions it's irrelevant.

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky But you're missing the main point. The net price will be substantially lower because we'll have thousands of jobs and considerably higher taxable income from oil & gas production and employment. And the environmental footprint will be improved enormously.

@EdConwaySky More reason to electrify the economy ASAP Ed.

Serious damage as Ras Laffan is bad for everyone. But it's esp bad for the UK. As i pointed out in my primer on N Sea yday, under current plans, by 2035 LNG is due to be the single biggest source of UK gas. Qatar and by extension Ras Laffan was a big part of that plan

Very, very bad news. As I wrote in Material World, Ras Laffan is one of the most important industrial sites not just in the Gulf but in the world. LNG, helium, other products. Massive. Whatever happens next, serious damage to this site could reverberate for months, maybe years.

@MarkJan08409037 There's no cobalt at all in LFP batteries. There's been use of cobalt in petrol refining for decades though. Please show me all your tweets lamenting the use of cobalt in Petrol refining

@LewisStanding1 lewis the cuck drives a crazy expensive car to virtue signal while kids in the congo mine the cobalt for him to look cool

nytimes.com/2026/03/14/bus… Turns out that you can't be hit by oil shocks if you don't run your economy on oil 🤯 The answer to the energy crisis is EVs and ASHP and renewables @rachelreev@Ed_Miliband

@NetZeroWatch If you're supporting it, it's guaranteed to be fake news isn't it

This is a must watch. Britain is not short of energy. We still have abundant oil, gas and coal, and we possess the expertise to turbocharge a new generation of nuclear power. The real constraint is not geology or capability. It is political will.

@RandomNoobYT @ctrlaltrefuel @duncsand @OctopusEnergy I've got floor insulation, and a ASHP to buy first. Then that's the next thing on my list

@LewisStanding1 @ctrlaltrefuel @duncsand @OctopusEnergy If you run an EV then home battery storage is a no brainer, I installed mine back in 2022 when I was paying 4.5p with EDF, I even got the £400 from the GOV which covered about 8 months of my total electricity usage for the year. My DD payment got reduced to £1 per month.

When my home battery arrives, I'll be running my house at 5.49p/kWh the whole day.

Charging an EV at home just got even cheaper. From April 1st, something BIG is happening. Overnight EV charging for new Octopus customers will be just 5.5p/kWh. That means a FULL charge will cost just £3.30 for most EVs. What’s EVEN BETTER though… Existing Intelligent Octopus Go customers could now pay just 3.49p… Making a full charge just £2.10. Which works out to around 1p per mile. That’s not a typo. Meanwhile, a 40mpg petrol car at £1.45/litre is sitting around 16-18p per mile. If you’re switching to Octopus, use my link and we share £100 credit: share.octopus.energy/taupe-cat-442

@Specialized_Cb @supergoodlife @JordanEVGuy Day rate is 35p and not 28p though

@supergoodlife @JordanEVGuy Yes - one person yesterday suggested charging an EV next year would cost £10 kWh 🤔 I showed them my 1 year fix at 3.5p kWh (1p a mile)😊

@ctrlaltrefuel @duncsand @OctopusEnergy Day rates quite high though. Great of you do lot's of miles or have big home batteries though

@duncsand How are you getting this rate please? All three people who run this account is with @OctopusEnergy and we have a teeny tony tou tube channel so the more information you can share would be very helpful Thank you CP

@jonburkeUK @EdConwaySky Ed's book material world is very good actually Id scratch this down to mistake not malice

Dear Readers, @EdConwaySky has neglected to inform you that the CEO of “Britain’s wind power body” is a former senior Conservative Party and Shell staffer with no technical background in energy. Let that sink in.

@david_duguid @EdConwaySky Still didn't cover how local gas would be sold at the marginal pricing of LNG and therefore no cheaper. And he included the misleading lower carbon figures for transportation - likely to mislead people into thinking overall this made any difference

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky I think the ‘uninformed’ should be a bit more informed if they watch this presentation 😊

@david_duguid @EdConwaySky It's misleading to the uninformed though isn't it? Makes it look like a much bigger factor than it really is.

@LewisStanding1 @EdConwaySky Well, yes. That's my point. I don't include the final combustion, because that happens regardless of where the gas/LNG comes from. Before the gas gets to the consumer - who is responsible for about 97% of UK emissions - it STILL makes more sense to get it as locally as possible.
