Solar panels require some upfront expenditure. But they also carry a huge range of benefits for you and the planet, including decades of energy savings! Are Solar Panels Worth It? Renewable energy is the future! Now, more than ever, the UK has a great relationship with renewable energy. We’re the world’s biggest generator of
Wind generation has once again smashed its previous record, with blustery weather on Friday 21 May driving it to a new peak of 17.7GW between 3.30-4:30pm. This just scraped past the previous record, set on the wet bank holiday Monday 3 May at 3.30pm when it hit 17.6GW, according to National Grid ESO. This in
Last year, renewable capacity additions were up by 45% globally to almost 280GW, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This was the highest year-on-year increase since 1999, but the agency has said these high additions are the “new normal” in 2021 and 2022. Over the next two years, renewables are expected to account for
