NGESO is considering in the next FRCR (early 2023) setting a lower minimum inertia (currently 140GVA.s), possibly as low as 102GVA.s, and this could save around £100mn/year

Some genuinely terrifying analysis on UK energy bills…

💷bills >£5k, highest in >50y
🏡2/3 to be in fuel poverty
🏥home energy costs £193bn (>> education + defence)

On the hottest day on record in the UK, the High Court has ruled that the government’s Net Zero Strategy breaches the Climate Change Act.
