Vive la révolution verte!⚡️🇫🇷

We’ll invest €1b in French renewables over the next two years to roll them out cheaper and faster, unlocking power for 300k homes across France.

We're also making Paris our new technology hub in Europe, bringing 100s of local clean tech jobs.

Christmas comes early! The de facto ban on onshore wind caused a 96% decline in planning permissions from 2016. Lifting this is a big step towards strengthening UK’s energy security & delivering its climate commitments. #letsbuildmorewind https://t.co/AC6dKflA6L

I'd like to welcome Bulb customers and staff.

We'll do our darnedest to look after you through the transition and the crisis.

There's no single path to a career in #greenenergy or #sustainability - and those industries are all the better for it! We need brilliant people from all backgrounds to work on making #netzero a reality.

🎙️ @g__j: If the UK hadn't scrapped plans to reduce fossil fuels years ago, "energy bills this year would be billions lower".

"We now need to get on with it... to help prevent catastrophic climate change, and also drive energy costs down." https://t.co/2eGTY34moA

Want taller, stronger, more powerful turbines? 💪 We’re giving the older generation of turbines new life.

Adding bigger blades could unlock enough power for hundreds of thousands of homes far faster than building from scratch.

“According to insurance giant Swiss Re, not acting on climate will destroy around 18% of GDP by 2050.” We’ve disregarded the existential costs for too long - we have to solve the system challenges, together. #climatechange #esginvesting https://t.co/vQGy3S3u90

"What'll we do when the wind's not blowing in the UK?"
"Get sunshine from Morocco."

We're part of @xlinks_uk's project to build a giant cable between Devon and Morocco, unlocking more reliable, cheap and clean electrons 20 hours a day.

Calling UK landowners: can you host a wind turbine to power your community?

You get ££.
Your neighbours get cheaper power.
We all get a greener, more independent energy system.

I think that’s what they call a wind-wind 😏https://t.co/zlunqKInU4

[Sir Greg Hands @GregHands]

.@OctopusEnergy new 'Plots for Kilowatts' campaign is an important development & shows cooperation between industry & local communities.

And could help drive forward new onshore wind projects in local communities that want them, across the country.

Landowners have a massive role to play in unlocking cheaper, greener energy for communities. If you’re a UK landowner & want to be part of the future of energy, register your interest in hosting a turbine on your land! 💨⚡️🐙 https://t.co/F5GYUiPx7q #plotsforkilowatts #renewables

As the haze of hot air on onshore wind grows with each day @nathansbennett @RenewableUK have put together an explainer on why the Govt are thinking about onshore wind, and what policy changes would mean in practice https://t.co/Z4OWm8Nnk3 1/8 🧵

A sight for sore eyes! Bring the breeze and the sunshine - wind and solar offer a cleaner, more affordable energy future ☀️#ipcc

[Greg Jackson @g__j]

To all the conspiracy theorists...

*No* energy companies have taken meter readings offline. Right now, we have 2500 calls waiting. On a normal busy day, it'd be 150.

Yesterday, we increased the number of servers we us by 250% to help with the expected load.

It’s never been more important to accelerate the switch to renewable energy in the UK & further afield 🐙

[Octopus Energy @OctopusEnergy]

Every new British turbine helps to drive the price of power down and end our dependence on gas.

👇 People near this turbine already get 50% cheaper power when the wind's blowing. We reckon that's how the whole system should work.

Let's build more wind.
