Solar Delivers for the EU! ☀️🇪🇺 A historic milestone for clean energy in Europe.

Now it’s time for storage to shine alongside solar🔋Together, they’ll become the power duo—scalable, affordable, and secure—reshaping the energy system for good.
NEW | Solar generated a RECORD 22% of EU electricity in June 2025, becoming the top power source for the first time ever☀️

Record #solar in most EU countries helped power systems grapple with high demand from ongoing heatwaves⚡

"Yeah, but global warming will be great for the UK."

Ummmm...Just look at this map of marine heatwaves around the UK and Ireland right now.

Sea surface temperatures are up to 4C warmer than usual for this time of year, reaching about 17C off the Irish coast.

💡 UK electricity bills are high — but don’t blame net zero.
A new @carbonbrief.org factcheck shows it's expensive gas, not renewables, that’s driving up costs.

Gas set the market price 98% of the time in 2021, even when cheaper wind & solar were available.

While many are searching for shade, PV systems are working hard, turning all that sunshine into clean, cost-saving energy. Not only does it help lower energy bills, but it's also a step toward a more sustainable future.

New satellite imaging research shows that solar farms in UK take up a TINY fraction of our agricultural land and most of that can be used for grazing and/or nature recovery.

Many already combine solar panels with sheep grazing. Renewable energy and food production CAN coexist. Read more: ow.ly/hPoQ50VBprk
