In his latest column, Martyn Bridges, Director of External Affairs at Worcester Bosch, asks whether solar PV and heat pumps will work for all households. The figures are in for appliance sales through 2025, and heat pump sales appear to have exceeded 125,000 for the year. This is up from 98,000 installed in 2024,
The Government’s decision to accelerate solar energy deployment from the smallest to the largest scale has been applauded by the UK’s fast-growing solar energy industry. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband laid out several emergency measures, in response to the fossil fuel supply crisis caused by the war in Iran. Unexpectedly bringing forward the next Contracts
EV charging costs are expected to increase amid an anticipated rise in electricity costs caused by the Iran crisis Chaos on energy markets caused by the war in Iran is set to lumber EV owners with higher charging bills – but rocketing pump prices mean green vehicles will remain cheaper to run than petrol
As the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran continues, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, cutting off a quarter of oil and natural gas supplies from the rest of the world. Qatar has shut down its liquified natural gas or LNG production, with no clear date to restart in sight. But energy experts say some countries
People who drive conventional cars sneer at those of us who drive EVs. Why take the risk of running out of battery power when there is always a gas station just a few miles away? That is an excellent question, assuming the nearest station has gasoline to sell. But what if it doesn’t? People
This comes after a nationally representative survey of 2,500 adults conducted by E.ON found that 75% of British people would prefer to buy a newly built house with solar panels over than one without, and 68% believe solar panels should be mandatory on all newly built houses. These findings have come ahead of the government’s
The ever-shifting, interconnected system of global air and ocean currents dictates the weather we experience daily. This year, however, scientists are warning that a particularly potent version of one of Earth's most infamous climate phenomena, El Niño, could dramatically alter these patterns. Climate scientist Daniel Swain recently posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating: "Whew. All
There’s been significant growth in solar panel installations, as more of us look for ways to become energy-independent (or at least offset some costs). Having had solar installed recently (check out my BOXT Solar review for more details), I’ve had time to crunch some figures and do some testing to really get into how
Solar batteries are becoming an important part of modern renewable energy systems, especially as more homes and businesses install solar panels. However, many myths and misunderstandings still surround solar battery technology. These misconceptions often discourage people from adopting energy storage solutions, even though the technology has improved significantly in recent years. Understanding the truth
Three‑quarters of housebuyers say they are more likely to buy a newbuild house fitted with solar panels than one without, according to new research by E.ON UK. The nationally representative survey of 2,500 adults also found widespread support for solar panels to become a requirement for all newly built houses. More than two-thirds (68%)
