The “Spark Gap” is widening - and it’s holding Britain back ⚠️

✅ 68% of electric meters in Britain are smart
But look closer:
❌ Only 39% of non-domestic meters are smart
🔥 For every 1 heat pump (ECO), 2 new gas boilers go in
📉 0 EPC recs for heat pumps… 121K for gas

🚗⚡ Britain’s EV shift is real:

✅ 22% of new cars sold are electric
✅ £901/year savings with smart home charging
✅ 1M+ home chargers installed
✅ EV price gap down to ~£10k
✅ 65% say EVs outperform petrol/diesel
✅ Just 3% would go back to ICE
Let’s dive in 👇

🌞 Solar is surging in Britain - but can we keep the momentum going?

Over 1.8 million homes now have solar panels - that’s 20% of the 2030 target. A few years ago, this felt distant. Now? We're catching up fast.

🎙️ "The problem isn’t the tech - consumers who switch love it. The problem is electricity bills."

Our Policy Director Ben Westerman joined Times Radio to talk about electrification in Britain.

✅ EVs & solar are thriving
⚠️ Heat pumps? Still hitting major barriers

📈 Heat pump installations have tripled since the Boiler Upgrade Scheme launched - proof that smart public support works.

But we’re just at the start of the journey. 🚀

It feels like we're being punished for switching to electric - it's time to change the way green levies are imposed and incentivise the move to more modern technologies, Camilla Born tells @alexisconran.bsky.social.
