Heat pumps and solar panels rule in the UK this June. In fact, it has been a bumper year for all green energy upgrades — batteries included — a 62% increase over 2022. As I sit here in the winter sunshine in Brisbane, Queensland, I remember my 18 months working … [continued]
At the end of 2020, I published a report on solar power, wind power, and fossil fuel power market share changes from 2010 to 2020. A helpful reader, Mike Dyke, directed me to UK data for the same period.
The United States has apparently regained #1 in EY’s Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (RECAI), a biannual report that has been put out since 2003.

As we head into the 2018 model year, however, have things gotten any better for electric cars? According to a new study in the UK, things have gotten twice as good!
The UK set another solar power record on May 26, the second time this month that has happened. On that sunny day, nearly a quarter of all the electricity on the grid came from solar panels.
The first quarter of the year was an impressive one for the UK’s renewable energy fleet, with wind farms recording their highest ever quarterly output and solar power reaching a new high of its own for peak power output.
Solar energy, and renewable energy as a whole, is stealing notable market share from coal energy in the UK, according to the most recent market analysis from EnAppSys. The findings follow the general trend that’s been observed in the UK market (and other market, like the USA) in recent times … [continued]
The UK solar industry broke a new record in June, generating 23.9% of UK electricity demand, according to the UK Solar Trade Association. The UK solar industry had plenty of reasons to celebrate its third “Solar Independence Day” on Monday, with the UK’s solar trade body, the Solar Trade Association (STA), … [continued]
