@octopus.energy I've just switched to you and am super excited to be able to have Agile electricity tariff!
I was a bit surprised as to why the standing charge on Agile is higher than Tracker/Flexible though? Shouldn't the higher risk on the consumer side mean lower fixed cost?

UK electricity grid in 2023 vs a scenario for 2030. Electrification and wind/solar/batteries will mean the country will be less dependent on international gas markets: what an exciting revolution of which we can be a part!
The UK's amazing wind potential could make it an energy superpower!

I'm not anti-nuclear: it's probably worth it to keep running existing plants as long as is economically viable. But as we are investing in big projects to have a greater diversity of electricity supply, maybe a Europe-America electricity connection should be seriously considered!
A transatlantic interconnection could help achieve a more secure and efficient #energytransition 🤝⚡️
Europe will have excess electricity when North America is waking up, while mid-day North America will have excess power during Europe’s evenings 🌎🌍

Carsharing while enabling a higher penetration of renewables in the grid? Now we're talking: Utrecht (Netherlands) will see 500 Renault 5s, which could provide 10% of the city's needed grid flexibility to allow more wind and solar to replace fossil electricity generation!
Renault Group, We Drive Solar and MyWheels join forces with the city of Utrecht to launch Europe's first V2G enabled car-sharing service - Newsroom Renault Group
Boulogne Billancourt – November 27, 2024: Utrecht is taking a bold step towards more sustainable mobility with this groundbreaking collaboration. This initiative aims to facilitate the large-scale ava...

Met anyone who doesn't want wind turbines near their home? This will blow their mind! 🌬️
In the UK (and soon Germany) this energy company is offering it's customers 20% cheaper electricity when it's windy and 50% cheaper when it gets super windy!
Imagine what this would do NIMBYism!

This graph shows the distance after which an EV is cheaper/less emitting than a petrol equivalent.
1) most cars should be able to be plugged in at home/work, and with electricity rates that reward flexible charging
2) the grid gets less polluting every year so this will drop further
(x1.61 for km)

The battery of your electric car could power your home for about a week! And it would charge/discharge so slowly that it's actually better for battery life 😱 this is not a dream but available in cars today like the Renault 5. Find out more about the potential in this report by T&E ✅

This is a great figure. For all the doom & gloom about climate inaction, we have made a big dent over the past 25 years.
What started out as 3.5-4°C increase by 2100 is now down to 2-3°C. Of course, more work is urgently needed but this is progress! We don't let up now. h/t @hausfath.bsky.social
