Government set to boost solar uptake

@jessralston2: "Had homes been built more efficiently in the past decade, the UK would not be so dependent on foreign gas imports and not as vulnerable to gas price spikes."

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨

London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

Farmers, factories & schools as well as public sector organisations could soon be able to install small onshore wind turbines in England without needing to apply for planning permission.

Helping to reduce bills, while protecting against volatile fossil fuel markets.

Sorry @PJTheEconomist I respect your work at IFS but on this one you are completely wrong

Renewables are around 90% of new power investment globally - including in the US led by Texas.

So real economic decision makers think they are economic in the vast majority of markets

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

There’s light at the end of the tunnel. 🔦

TfL uses as much electricity as 600,000 homes, but the network is officially shifting to be part-solar powered.

We’re on the fast track to a 100% renewable commute by 2030. https://t.co/ZcK5uJJvYt

Amongst recent Government actions on energy listed in today's press release - an odd omission by @energygovuk by forgetting to mention the launch of the recent £1bn Local Power Plan @Ed_Miliband @mgshanks

[Community Energy London @CommEnergyLDN]

Good to see in today's @energygovuk press release that Govt "accelerating devolved funding for mayors to deliver home upgrades - including London funding to upgrade low-income homes street by street" https://t.co/BWGh6D1mrI

ICYMI: Our letter to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero @Ed_Miliband welcoming the #LocalPowerPlan 👏

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A UK first: The Circular Construction Hub is coming to the Royal Docks.

This is a major step toward a zero-carbon London by 2030, cutting emissions while delivering the new jobs and homes Londoners need. The future of building is here.

@Ed_Miliband @RoseMarley1 @JimmyLloydW "The levels of ambition and funding in the #LocalPowerPlan are like nothing the UK community energy sector, or the wider co-operative movement, has ever seen before... We look forward to hearing how we, our members and our networks can get involved." #coops #comshares
