If you’re struggling with high energy bills and the cost of living in general, you should check if you can claim benefits or if you’re eligible for energy efficiency improvements.

Come along to one of our drop in sessions for a friendly chat with our team.

[Energy Projects Plus @EP_Plus]

Looking forward to showcasing the valuable work of @BGEnergytrust at the Palace of Westminster. Such support is important especially during the cost of living crisis.

[Richard Lowes @heatpolicyrich]

Lots on heat pumps and buildings from UK government today including.
-1m planning rule gone by 'early next year'.
-Clean Heat Market Mechanism coming in but with only £500 fines 'in year 1'.

Good on planning but I don't think a £500 fine will do owt...

Put this way, endlessly heaving fossil fuels around on ships feels positively prehistoric.

[Richard Black @_richardblack]

No, clean energy doesn't have to replace the 80% of primary energy that currently comes from fossil fuels. Seriously brilliant piece of work from @adam_b_adada & colleagues @DeutscheWelle https://t.co/1ncQyyHEhq

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

How do the G20 generate electricity?

Nice visualisation from @VisualCap using @EmberClimate data.

[Wolf of X @WolfofX]

12. In Norway you get a small amount of money for recycling bottles/cans. They're often collected by poor people, homeless etc. A lot of our trash cans has these holders around them so people don't have to search through the trash to collect them

[Dave Colbourne @ColbourneDave]

@CultureExploreX Ps nice thread and thanks for few new ideas for holidays.

[Dave Colbourne @ColbourneDave]

@CultureExploreX There has been a settlement there since roman times but Guerande is well preserved and working town. https://t.co/eczca1CS3E

[Vicky Spratt @Victoria_Spratt]

The Local Government Association @LGANews has shared exclusive data with me @theipaper showing local councils' temporary accommodation bills have soared by £733 million a year since 2015/16. This, sources across the country tell me, is unsustainable https://t.co/VnPu86afVU
