More than 50% of energy generation for the #grid is currently coming from #wind
I wonder if people would find it interesting if the forecast included predicted grid carbon intensity
Today’s Father’s Day but did you know, in the UK, it’s 9 months until Mother’s Day
June is #Pride month
Everyone has the right to be their true self. I support this view 🏳️🌈
If you’re reading your timeline on socials and feeling negatively then know that you can be in control of how you feel without engaging in arguments.
Put out some positive posts and feel good about something which is important to you.
I love load shifting without load shifting by using overnight energy stored in my home battery
Don’t be shy. What was your last sustainable action or decision you made? Can be big or small but you might just inspire someone.
Time of use tariffs give us the ability to flex with the grid based on when renewables are present but also incentivise to avoid using the grid when renewables are low
Fancy getting all your home EV charging for £30 per month

Definitely agree with that
Convenience is a major positive for driving electric
You’re working in the marketing department of an EV dealership and been asked to write the sales campaign for a new EV model. The only caveat is you can’t use the environmental benefits.
What do you include in the sales campaign?
Today is #WorldEarthDay and the theme this year is “Our Power, Our Planet”.
So I encourage you to share your sustainable and renewable actions so others can see what can be done. #EarthActionDay

I’ve been listening to the latest Green Queens podcast at 10 episodes old
I had never heard of lab grown diamonds before and this episode is very insightful on how a luxury goods industry can be made sustainable. Take a listen or watch

I’ve calculated that my PV #solar can generate more electricity than my home uses not including my EV
If I can charge at night it costs less then 2p per mile and if I can look at the predicted #wind in the #grid I can add cleaner energy into my car
Another #solar record for the UK #grid yesterday
Interesting question. I believe it is regional as it is based on my account with Octopus.
Would you be willing to move your EV charging to a different day? If so I recommend following the @octopus.energy #GreenerDays predictor to look for the nights where there is the most wind in the #grid. I will be waiting until Thursday night to charge my EV this week as a result
Today has been a great day of #solar as a net exporter of electricity today
Energy self sufficiency and energy cost reduction is one reason for installing #solar on your roof but it also helps decarbonise the #grid
Unfortunately my car is not capable of vehicle to grid (my previous car was)
I’ve been playing in Home Assistant and I now have a card using Octopus Energy Greener Days forecasting to see when it is cleanest to charge my car or use my@home energy storage
Why is Mother’s Day an hour shorter than every other day of the year?
In other news did you know Mother’s Day is 9 months after Father’s Day?
The phrase that pays from the new and improved marketing course
Battery energy density is increasing so battery weight can drop. Also many EVs have thermal management so that the battery is pre-heated before charging begins.
Has an OEM released a fuel cell with the same or better efficiency as a battery?
Combustion engines are 30-40% efficient
Fuel cells are 40-60% efficient
Batteries are 80-90% efficient

I don’t agree with that. What propaganda have you seen?
I just thinks it’s inefficient to convert electricity into Hydrogen to convert into electricity. Industrial scale heat appears to be a valid use case.
I want to be wrong because I want to see a variety of clean energy solutions.
Choices speeds up adoption
I’m desperate to be proved wrong but I am finding it hard to see the benefit of using electric to make hydrogen to make electric in passenger vehicles.
There are plenty of use cases for Hydrogen but passenger vehicles doesn’t look to be one. I’m hoping I’m wrong.
Today is International Women’s Day #IWD2025 Who the inspirational women who you look up to and what are you doing to bring gender equality forward?
Spring has sprung and the sun has got his hat on. How’s everyone else doing for their #solar generation today?
You’re socialising with friends and family when the topic of climate change comes up.
There’s a desire to take action but they don’t really know where to begin as there’s a lot of terms and phrases which they’re unsure of.
What would be your recommendations be to decarbonise their energy use?
