Today is an important day, with the publication of advice from @neso_energy on the requirements of clean power by 2030.

It’s brilliant analysis.

The headline is that it’s achievable, while maintaining security of supply, but only if we get a move...

The most polluting way to generate electricity met its official demise in the U.K. yesterday, and it should not be missed. (You can watch the number for coal-generated electricity drop to zero in the original video: x.com/neso_energy/...)
It’s done.

This is the moment Britains last remaining coal power station came off the electricity system for the final time, marking the end of 142 years of coal generating electricity in Great Britain.

Continuing trade between Wind and Gas.
Will this weekend's coming storm force switch off of some Wind capacity?

finally, the remaining orgs need to evolve, e.g.:

- an expanded @CMAgovUK should organise around users, building services to improve consumer rights enforcement
- @neso_energy & new equivalents in water etc. must focus on contestability throughout the stack, not just central planning

Can Wind replace Coal's historic generation capacity?

We commissioned this report - one of the first from @neso_energy - and I’m very glad we did. This is independent technical advice to underpin our clean power plan.

We’re now working on a package of policies to enable clean power, informed by this...
