Perfect eco home today, it’s cold so heat pump is working to maintain house temp, but it’s also clear and sunny so my solar is covering my entire load loving @OctopusEnergy cosy6
Maintaining broad based support for net zero means cutting emissions whilst delivering growth, reducing cost of living and not telling people they can't live the lives they want.
Clean power, electrification of transport & heat allow this. Indeed, they can be an upgrade.
BREAKING NEWS❗
The UK heat pump had a bumper year with 63% market growth.
Still a long way to go but if maintained in future years the UK would meet its 600,000 heat pumps installed per year in 2028 target.

Well what can I say other than … Wow to those 8 years! ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
I started with -£20k in my bank with my business Partner and now one of my best friends Lee Sutton to a £50m+ turnover business.
Together we built one of the fastest growing tech businesses in the UK.
We met and built one of the best teams in our industry and I’ve made friends for life on this crazy ride from far and wide.
We proved you can have success with British Manufacturing and do it profitably.
I’ve travelled the world growing the business.
Wrote a children’s book and had some of the best experiences of my life. myenergi opened so many doors for this lass from Grimsby.
We’ve given hundreds of thousands back to the local community and created real career opportunities for people.
We smashed through barriers, we laughed, we’ve cried.
The highs have been extremely high the lows have been the lowest! But what a ride! What an experience.
I’ve decided to take a step back from “the job”. To enjoy some well earned rest and family time. Before pursuing my next adventure :)
I am still a shareholder and board member of myenergi and will be supporting the team just from a much more relaxed advisor/ambassador POV as Co-Founder.
If you’d like to stay in touch with me and you’re interested in my investments and next steps in life please get in touch here 💕

@CCHQPress@AndrewBowie_MP Disagree. Successful prosperous civilisations are built on cheap energy.
Renewables are cheap and we should build more in the UK and drive energy costs down and thus improve manufacturing and reduce energy costs further by making more of them.
@GhostHexpat@didtheydiecom@DaleVince Ask the government why they’re supporting the £22 Billion carbon capture storage scheme after donations from fossil fuels.
This will add costs to our bills and is a complete folly. The £22 Bn will go back to the donors plus some!
It's hilarious when trolls, russians and people with anonymous accounts accuse clean energy people of being grifters.
They should see the oil and gas grift. It cost you £100bn in the crisis and £17m in 3 hours last week.
There've been fossil fuel crises since I was a kid.
Recently had a great time chatting to drivers about owning an EV with and without a driveway.
The idea? scary! The reality? Pretty simple actually (and getting better every all the time) 💚
It was honestly a surprise to me (being blessed with a home charger), but the general theme was it’s just a mindset change and not much more.
Popping the car on charge whilst taking the dog for a walk, grabbing some shopping or (my favourite) an excuse to play golf!
The key now is abundance and affordability. Making it less of a postcode lottery, and more common for the places we already spend our time to have easy charging⚡️
(I think I’ll do a couple of months without my home charger to really live what it means. I’ll report back! 🔌🔌)
Is the boiler industry gas lighting you?
Accused of “campaigns of misinformation” & “price gouging” by Ministers
lobbying that could “hurt” customers @CitizensAdvice
Do consumers need to think twice before trusting what the industry says?
Let’s have a look at the evidence..🧵
@Ed_Miliband Please use the £22 Billion allocated for the folly that is Carbon Capture Storage for building actual cheap renewables and battery and solar factories in the UK.
My message to the Conservatives who oppose our clean power mission:
Your party gambled with the British people's money in the fossil fuel casino, and working people paid the price.
This Government will never let that happen again.
@atrupar Solar + Wind produces more electricity than coal now
Oh, and it's the cheapest to produce, not the most expensive
He's literally spewing fake news
@4Eddy@janrosenow There’s almost no chance that a heat pump can be less efficient than immersion.
Check out: https://t.co/sHfzyHhoca
This is last 30 days, so unusually cold weather for UK and still averages of 3.5 across 245 heat pumps:
@4Eddy@janrosenow That’s not true at all. For them to be less efficient than an immersion, they’d have to have a COP of less than 1.
After monitoring heatpumps with real data, even some of the worst in the coldest conditions for only short periods & still achieved 2.5x better than immersion.
