More than 50% of energy generation for the #grid is currently coming from #wind

I wonder if people would find it interesting if the forecast included predicted grid carbon intensity

Don’t be shy. What was your last sustainable action or decision you made? Can be big or small but you might just inspire someone.

Time of use tariffs give us the ability to flex with the grid based on when renewables are present but also incentivise to avoid using the grid when renewables are low

You’re working in the marketing department of an EV dealership and been asked to write the sales campaign for a new EV model. The only caveat is you can’t use the environmental benefits.

What do you include in the sales campaign?

I’ve calculated that my PV #solar can generate more electricity than my home uses not including my EV

If I can charge at night it costs less then 2p per mile and if I can look at the predicted #wind in the #grid I can add cleaner energy into my car

Another #solar record for the UK #grid yesterday

Would you be willing to move your EV charging to a different day? If so I recommend following the @octopus.energy #GreenerDays predictor to look for the nights where there is the most wind in the #grid. I will be waiting until Thursday night to charge my EV this week as a result

Today has been a great day of #solar as a net exporter of electricity today

Energy self sufficiency and energy cost reduction is one reason for installing #solar on your roof but it also helps decarbonise the #grid

I’ve been playing in Home Assistant and I now have a card using ⁦‪Octopus Energy‬ Greener Days forecasting to see when it is cleanest to charge my car or use my@home energy storage

Spring has sprung and the sun has got his hat on. How’s everyone else doing for their #solar generation today?

You’re socialising with friends and family when the topic of climate change comes up.

There’s a desire to take action but they don’t really know where to begin as there’s a lot of terms and phrases which they’re unsure of.

What would be your recommendations be to decarbonise their energy use?

The @octopus.energy results are in. Despite the change to #DFS payments 470,566 households took part last week.

Some other stats are below 👏👏

Historically you had to take your chances that a charging site was busy or not and if the chargers work.

Great to see that you can now get updates on how many chargers are available alongside the charging connectors on the site.

The year is not year over and I’m checking my numbers. 80% of my #solar is going to my home and June was my best performing month when I generated 14% of my annual solar #renewables

I’ve got a trip to Manchester coming up next month.

Driving my EV for 4 hours and 45 minutes will only need a 14 minute stop. Given you’re meant to stop every 2 hours this shows that public charging does not add any additional time or inconvenience to your journey

Yesterday the UK had the highest amount of #wind generated electricity in the #grid at 22.2 GWh #renewables

I’m assuming this is from the #SavingSession on Thursday. Incentives like this help balance the #grid. Even better if it is automated so you don’t even need to think about it

An improved picture for Agile prices tomorrow

Seasons Greetings to everyone who is helping the transition to clean energy and zero emission transportation

Did you remember to make the most of the double dose of free electric this morning?
November 24, 2024 at 6:54 PM
Can I run an extension lead from Scotland please
November 24, 2024 at 3:28 PM
Low amounts of gas being used in the UK #grid today #wind #renewables
November 24, 2024 at 3:19 PM
I’ve used nearly 55 kWh of electric so far today and the cost is negative
November 24, 2024 at 8:04 AM
Not an EV deal per se but 2 hours of free charging for my car
November 23, 2024 at 12:11 PM
2 hours of free electric tomorrow. One of the many benefits of #wind #renewables
