Electric Cars: This Will Make You Chuckle

Have just been sent this by a friend of mine and it made me laugh so I am reposting. Just to be clear I am not a fan of electric cars with the exception of a town car runabout, at which point a small electric car makes perfect sense. Here’s why: the standard small car battery holds 30 Kilowatt Hours (KWh). A “house” battery pack is 6 KWh. Estimatations of household use vary from 6 KWh per day to 15 KWh. And some electricity tariffs offer an overnight rate of 6 pence per KWh and daytime of 36 pence per KWh. Charge your small [...]

UK ministers review bidding process for funding new renewable energy projects – The Guardian

Ministers are considering an overhaul of the bidding process to fund new renewable energy projects in an effort to create green jobs, amid Joe Biden’s subsidy race. The government said on Monday it has begun a review of the “contracts for difference” (CfD) scheme, which is used to determine the price of electricity from offshore wind and solar farms, with the aim of adding factors such as how many jobs they create to the regular auctions. The move comes partially in response to the net zero review by the former energy minister Chris Skidmore and amid a global race to provide greater subsidies for [...]

UK ‘must act now on renewable energy or risk being left behind’ – The Guardian

Government needs to introduce new ambitious energy policies before next general election, advisers say Ministers must take control of the UK’s energy system, removing the barriers to planning permission and problems with the national electricity grid, to build the windfarms and other renewable power needed to meet net-zero goals, government advisers have warned. Chris Stark, chief executive of the committee on climate change, the statutory adviser, said the task was too urgent to wait until after a general election, expected within the next 18 months. “It would be an enormous mistake to wait until the next general election to introduce new ambitious [...]

This is an era of plentiful, cheap, renewable energy, but the fossil fuel dinosaurs can’t admit it – The Guardian

For a couple of days this month, wind power supplied over half the UK’s electricity. You wouldn’t know it from our bills – or our politicians The first time wind energy emerged as a serious contender in the UK’s energy provision. It was 6 November 2012, and the country’s electricity use from wind hit an all-time high in the middle of the afternoon, at 9.3%. The casual observer wouldn’t have noticed, and the expert wouldn’t have been surprised, but for people between those poles, it was astonishing. Windfarms were then perceived as a nascent technology, so infant and speculative they needed endless subsidy, [...]

Wind power sets new UK record

More than half of the country's electricity came from this source with 21.6GW generated National Grid ESO has confirmed that wind provided more than half of the UK's power on 10th January 2023, setting a new record, according to RenewableUK.  Wind generated 21.6GW of electricity in the half-hour period between 6-6.30pm, providing 50.4% of the UK’s power. This beats the previous record of 20.9GW set on 30 December, which was the third wind energy record set last year. RenewableUK has been tracking the massive amount of electricity being produced by low carbon sources (renewables and nuclear) throughout the winter and tweeting updates every fortnight.

‘New dynamic in expansion’. Germany adds nearly 10GW of wind and solar in 2022

Europe’s largest economy installs 7.2GW of new solar and 2GW of onshore wind – but additions still too low to reach 2030 targets Germany added close to 10GW in new net onshore wind and solar capacity last year, which brought a “new dynamic in the expansion of renewable energies” amid a flurry of legislative changes to speed up deployment, the country’s economics and climate ministry said. Net solar PV additions are expected to have risen by 26% to 7.2GW in 2022, according to preliminary figures, the ministry said in an overview paper, pushing cumulative solar capacity in Europe’s largest economy beyond 65GW. For [...]
