Yesterday #wind produced 50.9% of British electricity followed by gas 18.6%, nuclear 11.8%, imports 10.2%, biomass 6.3%, solar 2.0%, hydro 0.3%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

Securing £1 billion investment in offshore wind is a major step forward in our mission to make the UK a clean energy superpower.

It will fire up our industrial heartlands and break down barriers to growth across the country.

We will lead the world in industries of the future.

📢The latest annual auction for Contracts for Difference to generate clean power has secured 9.6 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable energy capacity for the UK, including support for the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm! 📢

Wide range of wind, solar and tidal power projects, across technologies and across the nations of the UK have been successful 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@heatpolicyrich @nationalgrid I do love a bit of transformer action!

@Orsted @ESVAGT I love this!

We're publishing new research (from Aurora) & polling ahead of party manifestos being published, which provides some clarity in the debate around net zero & renewables

Let's hope we all don't have to point back to it in frustration🤞

First - the switch to a renewables dominated electricity system is the best choice for billpayers - not only is it lower cost, but it better insulates them from gas price shocks.

Significantly, it is cheaper than if we 'scrapped net zero' in favour of unabated gas.

And this analysis considers everything - the grid needed, the storage, flexibility, the lot.

@EngineerLondon Can you send it in to me when you are done please.

@NewAngliaEnergy I liked it.

@david_joffe @theCCCuk @RAEngNews Congrats. Let’s talk.

Today marks 15 years since the UK pioneered a legal and institutional framework for climate action with the Climate Change Act and the establishment of an independent Climate Change Committee in 2008. A joint statement - @piersforster and @baroness_brown - https://t.co/VVBSkZjcJJ

@nationalgrid @sserenewables Please include @Equinor and @Vårgrønn in your tweet.

@lizzrobs @Jack_Blanchard_ @Ed_Miliband Thanks for the summary Lizzy.

[Tara Singh @RenewableUKCEO]

Today I have spent the day with Ministers talking about how important long term stability in policy is for investor confidence. And now this? U-turn on #netzero will undermine investment in our economy and reduce opportunities for our children - it's their jobs being gambled.

[Ajai Ahluwalia @Ajai_UK]

@ETC_energy I look forward to reading it.

[Ajai Ahluwalia @Ajai_UK]

@cecilia_keating 🤦🏾‍♂️! Come and see my talk on Sunday at 3pm at the speakers forum. I will be talking about decarbonisation of the UK’s energy system.

[Ajai Ahluwalia @Ajai_UK]

@hollyb_t @GreenAllianceUK Congrats Holly!

[Ajai Ahluwalia @Ajai_UK]

@LCEF_UK Agreed! People seem to forget that public investment will unlock many opportunities which in turn will increase productivity and indeed taxes that will return to the treasury.

[Ajai Ahluwalia @Ajai_UK]

@michaelujacobs Well done Michael.
