Solar energy has become one of the most popular and rapidly growing sources of renewable energy in the UK. As more households and businesses adopt solar power, it’s important to understand the broader implications of this shift. Beyond the obvious financial considerations, such as the traditionally elevated solar panel cost in the UK, solar energy has
Sustainability has transitioned as the top priority, playing a pivotal part across business planning, operations as well and management, which notably reaps scalable outcomes. Consumers are focusing more on eco-friendly companies, and the government is also setting new standards for minimising carbon emissions. One of the most potential ways for the firms to meet
A study on the benefits of co-locating solar energy and sheep grazing shows that sheep grazing in the shade of PV modules may produce higher-quality wool than those on traditional agricultural properties. Renewables developer Lightsource bp says a study of the quality of wool produced by sheep grazing among the panels at its 174 MW Wellington Solar
Opponents of solar farms often say that solar panels should be put on roofs and that fields should be left for agriculture so i asked the experts on whether they agreed Tory leadership loser Robert Jenrick said that solar panels are “for roofs not fields” when asked by i last month if he supported a
A first-of-its-kind trial of a non-usage-based energy tariff designed to encourage the uptake of low-carbon technologies is due to take place this winter. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is backing the trial of the new Energy Sure tariff from smart energy company ivie, which is offering homes with low-carbon technologies, such
The UK’s first female chancellor of the exchequer has delivered her first Budget since taking office on 4 July. While much of Rachel Reeves’ first Budget was either broadly in line with expectations, or had been announced early, a move criticised by the deputy speaker of the house, there were some new announcements and significant
Over dinner last week, I was asked to give a sweeping overview as to why the planet is in crisis. As I was talking, I realised I am yet to amalgamate that same information for my subscribers in one post. So, here goes. Energy Every living thing requires access to an energy surplus to survive.
The 600MW development will comprise four ground mounted solar PV generating stations in West Lindsay, Lincolnshire, four onsite substations and a battery energy storage system (BESS).

Yamaha, a piano company, also makes motorcycles. Bose, an audio company, happens to also make suspension seats for truck drivers. And EcoFlow, a company known for its portable power stations, decided to enter the fashion market. However, it isn’t that much of a curveball, to be honest – because the product in question still somewhat
A new report has revealed that the onshore wind pipeline is picking up pace, growing twice as fast in the past 12 months than in the previous. RenewableUK’s latest EnergyPulse Onshore Wind Report shows that the pipeline of onshore wind projects across all stages of development, from pre-planning all the way to operational, has increased
