📢 BACK TO SCHOOL, BACK TO PARLIAMENT! We're in #Westminster to show our support for an ambitious climate plan for the new term: 1. Ramp up renewables ☀️ 2. Restore nature 🌳 3. Reduce energy bills with more green power 🧾 #GreenEnergyRevolution #LabourForClimate #StopRosebank

Tomorrow we get the results of the UK’s latest auction round for renewables, particularly critical for offshore wind. It is also my oldest child’s first ever day at school. And my birthday. So I’d like 3-5GW of offshore wind & for her new school shoes to fit, please 🫣🙏

#AR6 is out: 5GW of offshore wind, 1GW of onshore wind and a record breaking 3GW of solar. Our CEO, Emma Pinchbeck says: “Allocation Round 6 represents a crucial step in the journey to clean power by 2030.” 🖱️Read the full response: energy-uk.org.uk/news/energy-uk… 👈

🟢 The results of Allocation Round 6 means an additional 9.6GW of clean energy capacity in the UK, including 5GW of offshore wind, 1GW of onshore wind and a record-breaking 3GW of solar. #AR6 #OnshoreWind #OffshoreWind #SolarPower

Last week Department for Energy Security and Net Zero asked the ESO to develop advice on how to achieve a decarbonised power system by 2030. Read my open letter to learn how we’ll develop our plan, how it will interact with other energy reforms and how we’ll engage with industry 👉bit.ly/4dTliJC

After today’s bumper AR6 results, we move to the advice from National Grid ESO in Autumn as the next milestone for Clean Power 2030. Thanks to Fintan Slye and his team for their work with industry to develop this advice. This open letter explains the approach they are taking.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK CfD auction secured 9.6GW of wind/solar, enough to generate >10% of current annual demand, at avg £80/MWh in today's money Per Aurora Energy Research's Pranav Menon – and contrary to some very misleading newspaper reports – "deploying this capacity ultimately lowers

Sensible for the UK Government to give itself till after the Budget to respond to our Progress Report. What matters is the pace and ambition of action. We’ve seen that on electricity already, but it needs to extend to heat pumps, EVs, industry, and tree planting.

“The regularity with which new records like this are set shows the pace at which cleaner homegrown sources are providing an ever-increasing share of our power.” says our CEO Emma Pinchbeck.

And that's a wrap for day one of the 2024 Climate Leadership Academy in Manchester, we finished on energy, with a look at the changing system and role of local authorities within it. Lots of big ideas and great to have our partners Energy UK, National Grid ESO & returning CLA

I have one red lipstick. It is a very nice red lipstick that was brought for me as a present. I have a 2 year old who joined my zoom meeting and found my lipstick on the desk, when I was distracted by the discussion. Now I have a 2 year old covered in red lipstick.
