Energy Transition
Henry Edwardes-Evans
We’re in the midst of a remarkable transformation!
-
Earlier this year the last coal-fired power station in Great Britain was closed.
-
On July 5 wind met 55% of electricity demand across England, Scotland and Wales.
-
Now solar is kicking in, with batteries spreading the surge in midday power into the evening peak.
Come and challenge my optimist outlook!
