Scotland's wind power can provide energy for 'millions of homes' - @envjournal https://t.co/2eM2OxUpJK

We had a wonderful night at the West Midlands @EEAWARDS2019 a week ago, recognised as regional Energy Consultancy of the year, and Highly Commended in the Vulnerable Customer Support category – not to mention winning a cheeky bottle of champers in the raffle! #energyefficiency

Low demand + high #renewable generation put UK power into NEGATIVE pricing for large parts of Sunday. Could we be looking at a foretaste of a lasting shift in our relationship with #energy? https://t.co/2qpakWD7m3

ICYMI: October was another good month for #windpower in Scotland, as our Weather Energy expert Alex Wilcox-Brooke can testify! #renewables https://t.co/0G3I36Shqp

We are holding our breath today for tonight’s @Fedarene #RogerLéronAward, for which our renewables guru Andy Bull is a finalist. Whatever happens, we are so proud of Andy for his lifelong service to #sustainability (we’ve got our finger’s crossed though!) https://t.co/ziuiB4XBdf

We all heard the news this morning. This is not just the mission of the few. #ClimateChange is an issue that we all have a duty to do something about. If you’re a company, a community or just a citizen — get in touch and chat to us about where to start. https://t.co/VwmtVKLRoQ

Working with @WWFScotland to keep an eye on just how productive the sun is being at the moment – and it's blowing our minds a little bit! Weeks of sun, nice cool breezes - it doesn't get much better than this for #weatherenergy! https://t.co/e5ScmfHODq

Could not be happier about working alongside the #BrechfaForest communities to find the best long-term use of this significant sum of money for the area! Renewable energy helping build sustainable communities? This is the dream! @antur_teifi @innogy https://t.co/q1Se8JDYNF

While the government was today talking up fracking for the eleventy-fifth time, the @ONS was quietly confirming key parts of the green economy growing at close to four-fold the rate of the wider economy https://t.co/56vBfU6ihG

Did you know? Building new onshore wind farms is the cheapest way to generate new power in the UK - cheaper than nuclear and gas. Another reason why we need to say #YesToWindPower. https://t.co/NIOZcW7tFu

[Mark W Tebbutt @mwt2008]

Wow at 1pm today #wind & #Solar together were generating just short of 1/3 (32.89%) of #UK electricity demand!

Do you think every new home should have solar panels installed? If so, please sign, share and retweet this petition. It needs 10,000 signatures to be debated by the @UKParliament.

This can pass with a concerted effort by MyGridGB followers. Lets do it!

+++Coal-free GB update+++

The GB electricity grid has been coal-free since 10am on Saturday. It's windy today so another new record coal-free stretch looks likely.

Current record: 55hrs
Latest: 50.5hrs & counting

If coal doesn't fire up this evening, we could hit 78hrs!

[Solar - GB Grid @UK_SolarEnergy]

UK National Grid: #Solar is currently generating 7.91GW (20.61%) out of a total of 38.37GW

[Severn Wye @Severn_Wye]

Enjoying the #heatwave yet? Take a look at our nifty @weatherenergy tool to see just how much of the energy you used yesterday would’ve been taken care of by the sun in your area! https://t.co/QoKNXUoNwT #solar #solarenergy #renewableenergy

[Weather Energy @weatherenergy]

Leccie demand in #Scotland yesterday was 56,394MW whilst Scottish #wind turbines generated in the region of 95,000MWh - not bad at all!

[George Smeeton @GSmeeton]

Watch this; UK is set to beat it's record for longest continuous period without #coal today. But how long will it be? 48 hours? Over 50..? https://t.co/vIC5XeBR8e

@myGridGB Thank you very much @myGridGB , thought the same of you!
