the scale offshore wind development in the UK is stunning (via @RenewableUK)

Incredible!

I remember this. It was like a wake. And they were spot on.

Next week, for the first time in human history, a human-made object will reach a distance of one light-day from Earth.

Sentinel-3C has reached its operational orbit! 🎯

After launching on 15 September, the spacecraft is now flying in tandem with, Sentinel-3B, as teams at #ESOC continue preparing Sentinel-3C for routine operations.

CHART OF THE YEAR: The first Dunkelflaute of the 2026-27 season has revived commentary about another European electricity crisis à la 2022.

While short-term power prices have risen, the key German electricity 1-year benchmark contract remains contained, far, far, really far, below the 2022 levels.

Store More → Import Less → Power India Round the Clock!

The Cabinet has approved a massive Rs 14,500 crore push to develop 92 GWh of energy storage capacity, supporting an estimate of almost 1 lakh crore investment!

Unique features are:

60 GWh of pumped hydro storage.

30 GWh of battery energy storage.

2 GWh through emerging technologies.

40% minimum domestic content for battery storage projects.

Truly, it is more reliable power, greater renewable energy integration and stronger energy security.

I did. Happy days. I still remember Murray having to stop talking for a few seconds.

30 years ago and it never gets old. What can I say? Sorry you had to get up early again! And a million thanks to all who did 🙏🏻👏🏼✌🏻

Just made an update from "my" Solar reality vs IEA graph for an upcoming book called "Power to the People". The difference is still going strong...

My dad put up pylons - he will absolutely love this

[Robin Hawkes @robhawkes]

I may have fallen down a particularly niche rabbit hole over the weekend and made a thing that generates 3D models of all the varieties of electricity tower in Britain.

It's way over the top, like generating all the individual struts and bolts kind of over the top 🤓⚡

[David McMillan @DavidWindOps]

Yeah. I think the price cap increase has maybe messed with their algorithm. I’m pretty sure my fuel bill is quite a bit less than 5k, which is what the algo for my property defaulted to! Very poor show - think I’ll switch to octopus when my contracts up.

[Bill Hefferon @Bill_Hefferon]

British Gas bill gone from £37pm to £77. I don’t even have a gas hob or oven and the heating been off for 6 months. How is that possible.

@retro_seasider He's also autistic, people with autism can be very black and white about things like telling the truth.
