Energy Innovation Basecamp - 28 Feb in Bormingham. https://t.co/VhEqf8i2lQ

[Greg A Johnston @Greg_A_Johnston]

Delighted to have launched this consultation today. We are introducing new requirements to make #energy #data more open for everyone to access.

Huge amount of work put in by my colleagues @elenasmg @StevenJSteer
& Leo.

I see we are debating boilers and heatpumps and hydrogen.

Don't forget district heating, the dark horse in this discussion.

It can serve homes low-fuss, low-carbon heat and it's great for population-dense cities (especially with rivers). But it doesn't have such a vocal lobby.

BREAKING: Investment in #UKtech reached a record high of £10.1bn last year, according to figures out today from @TechNation and @Dealroomco

Here are the key facts you need to know 💡

@g__j in @TweetsByCurrent on why incumbents are naive. "Most of what they build will be redundant. Because they just didn't guess how consumers would react, they didn't guess what other companies would do and they didn't anticipate the new ecosystem". https://t.co/IzvdCCqrUm

Today we @innovateuk, @beisgovuk and @ofgem launched the Modernising Energy Data Access competition. A 100% funded competition to transform energy data access for the masses. Huge enabler for #netzero @theCCCuk @ChiefExecCCC @energynetworks. Apply here https://t.co/qe4PsZPret

[Matt Hastings @Capt_Kilowatt]

126 pages of how we are going to get moving towards net zero. Worth a read! Thanks @beisgovuk!!

[Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk]

Today we're responding to the @theCCCuk annual progress report and introducing an ambitious new package of energy efficiency measures for businesses which will save them £1bn a year in energy bills by 2030 & help us on our path to reach #netzero by 2050

Not scary at all. @Google reach #quantum supremacy by demonstrating an action in just over 3 minutes that would take the worlds fastest supercomputers 10,000 years to complete. #cybersecurity

[Matt Hastings @Capt_Kilowatt]

Delighted to see UK @energynetworks association referencing #Local #Energy Markets. We still need to ensure that RIII2 delivers much more innovation into business as usual and leaves a stronger legacy from bill payers’ investments.

@thehardestpath Hello sir! Great to hear from you. You are often in my thoughts. I’m [email protected] if you fancy a catch up sometime.

UK ranked 18th in the World's Most Innovative Economies https://t.co/OvQLDiEdwl. One for @andrealeadsom and @innovateuk to fix!

Ransomware hits Johannesburg electricity supply with network saying “nothing to worry about”. Glad UK has the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI), #CyberSecurity the most important issue for decentralised, local energy systems. https://t.co/UPtK5uzHP5

Small scale ‘peakers’, in front of the meter CHP, a big slug of solar/wind/storage and smart demand on the horizon. Like a modern version of the UK #power system in the 1920’s when local #energy was the norm. Now just need to secure the connections #dso! https://t.co/gREg6dUndc

If the words ‘Disruptive R&D Innovations’ resonate with you then why not apply for a share of our £25m Smart Grants Competition. This is where ideas for (almost) anything disruptive get funded. One for ambitious start ups @UKBAngels! https://t.co/Nf1lrLaSq9£25mSmartGrant
