@BristOliver Please post more book recommendations. This looks great - I decided today to take similar steps to reduce amount if time I spend on my phone so this is now my reading matter tonight rather than more scrolling!

[Michael Shanks MP @mgshanks]

Today marked the first meeting of the Solar Council. ☀️

Solar power is at the heart of our clean power mission and we are ambitious for the rollout across the UK. This Council will turn that ambition into action.

What’s a #BlackStart? Well it’s NOT an outage, power cut, loss of supply, localised fault, blown fuse, shutdown, trip, fault. It’s a TOTAL shutdown of the power system, with the desynchronisation of all power stations. It’s DEAD 😵 We have NEVER had one. So relax folks ☺️ [1/20]

Clean heat can help us reach net zero and reduce households’ exposure to volatile fossil fuel prices

Heat in homes and buildings accounts for around 20% of Scotland’s total greenhouse gas emissions.

Our Heat in Buildings Bill proposals set out how Scotland can transition to clean heating systems in a fair and affordable way.

[Scottish Government @scotgov]

We're seeking your views on proposals for greener and warmer buildings in Scotland.

We know different buildings in different areas need different solutions.

We're supporting households with the most generous grants and loans in the UK.

HOT OFF THE PRESS: @scotgov launches landmark strategy for clean heating:

Key elements:

🚫Ban on using fossil fuel heating after 2045
✅ Need to remove fossil heating systems after building sold
🏠Minimum efficiency standards for all homes by 2033, private landlords by 2028

Thanks to the installation of energy efficiency improvements under the Heat and Energy Efficient Scotland: Area Based Scheme in Orkney... (1/2)

[Net Zero Scotland @ScotGovNetZero]

We are helping to make Scotland’s buildings greener and easier to heat.

Last year, we:

🔹provided £170m in support
🔹helped 8,000 fuel poor households make their homes easier to heat
🔹created climate friendly standards for new homes

@janrosenow An invite code would be great if you can.

Thanks @ScotRail - really good to see the Travelsafe team on the Helensburgh service this evening. I’ve felt uncomfortable at times on this route in past.

[Net Zero Scotland @ScotGovNetZero]

With winter on the horizon @scotgov has launched a revamped programme to improve the homes of people living in fuel poverty.

More funding is available and more help for households to install a climate-friendly heating system.

Heat networks will play a key role in Scotland’s heat transition.

Councils can now draw on Danish expertise via the Scottish-Danish District Heating Mentoring Programme, which will share knowledge and support them in pursuing and delivering district heating.

@SheilaDillon @KitchenBee For some reason I’ve always used a sieve/colander to do this rather than a bowl - it felt intuitive somehow but now I can’t work out why!

[Warmworks @Warmworks]

This morning we hosted our first event with members of our supply chain who will be working with us to deliver the next phase of the Scottish Government's Warmer Homes Scotland scheme. (1/2)

[Catherine Williams @readette]

@heatpolicyrich Am I right on thinking this is enabled because ground source much more efficient and therefore can cope better with lack of insulation etc?

[Octopus Energy @OctopusEnergy]

Heat pumps are the near-magical electric heating solution we need to ditch gas boilers✨

As more and more people make the switch, our experts wanted to set the record straight about some of the heat pump myths out there.

[Net Zero Scotland @ScotGovNetZero]

Today we have published a consultation on proposed reform of Energy Performance Certificates to help us deliver net zero.
