@g__j Always happy with UK service, but please sort out Germany! Waiting 8 months and still don't have an operational smart meter or even an estimate of when. Nobody has an overview and departments don't speak to each other

No other company does stuff like this. Literally investing in hardware and software to (a) bring more visibility to energy costs and (b) to fix some issues with smart meters

@g__j @OctopusEnergy Received the octopus home mini today works like a charm easy to setup, love being able to see energy usage live.

@JasonGroves1 Sir Professor David MacKay in his book, “Sustainable Energy without the Hot Air” back in 2007 wrote (paraphrased)
“To fight climate change, we need ‘country-sized’ solutions … however the British are only willing to support building things if they are no bigger than a fig leaf."

Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay confirms he’s opposing new electricity pylons needed to link green energy to the grid in his East Anglian constituency. Says the route is not popular locally and he’s a ‘constituency MP’ first

@alistairmcgirr @haringeycouncil @perayahmet Perhaps they don't consider themselves part of Europe anymore!

And yet @haringeycouncil rejected my planning application for a heat pump @perayahmet 🤷🏻♂️

Europe needs to take immediate action to avoid the risk of natural gas shortages next year. Our new report shows that Europe could face a gap of 30 billion cubic metres of gas during the key period for filling storage next summer. Learn more → iea.li/3DYpxDV

One of Bird’s first big decisions on arrival was to rebrand Standard Life Aberdeen as abrdn- a move that was met with widespread derision

@NatBarkerIH LFB report into recent fire at NPW found that all automatic fire safety systems failed. Ballymore said this did not matter because they could still be operated manually. This is like a car manufacturer saying it's ok when the airbags fail because you can blow them up by mouth!

Tomorrow our inquiry into batteries and fuel cells continues, examining their roles on power grids, with Nick Winser of @EnergySysCat, Dr Jane Dennett-Thorpe of @ofgem, Prof Tim Green (@OtherProfGreen) of @EnergyFuturesIC, and Dr Keith MacLean (@macleank): committees.parliament.uk/event/4440/for…

@SpeakSarahSpeak Sarah, I agree and actually live here. Fortunately safe now. We've been fighting for years to get Ballymore to sort cladding and wooden(!) balconies. Not due to be complete before May 2022. Despite this the alarms and fire doors didn't work yesterday!

@Georgeday27 @the_ETI I dusted off my version for a new project with @CarbonConnectuk advising a Xparty parliamentary inquiry on governance for delivering Net Zero. Good to join up initiatives if possible

Ooh yes please.. back in 2016 while I was at @the_ETI I commissioned four different thinkers to ruminate on the issues and options @macleank
Worth having another look at this material which I think has aged fairly well

@Mabeytweet @SimonVirley @KPMG @e3g @EnergySysCat We would be up for this, Nick. BTW, I don’t see Simon’s proposals (which complement lots of the work we have done on governance) as centralising - which probably underlines why a debate may be a good thing. Will email. Cc @Georgeday27 @skeaybright

@janrosenow We got better at explaining it after publication, so happy to talk through our thoughts if it helps

@macleank Thanks Keith. I read this once but will take another look tomorrow.

Geeky question: Do you have any evidence on what the right balance is between energy efficiency and heat supply decarbonisation for full decarbonisation of buildings? Any thoughts welcome!
