UK electricity mix in 2013: less gas, still lots of coal, but wind’s on the up - Carbon Brief The UK sourced two thirds of its electricity from fossil fuels last year, official statistics...

As recently as 2013, 40% of UK electricity was generated from coal (in 2025 coal provides 0%) www.carbonbrief.org/uk-electrici...

Wow 62% wind tonight grid.iamkate.com

Heat-pump homes put less strain on grid than expected, study shows Analysis of new-builds in Birmingham suggests all-electric homes not only use less energy but vary in peak usage

Study of all-electric properties in Birmingham, with heat pumps and solar, shows they use less energy at peak times than expected, reducing stress on the grid

“We’re finding all those reasons not to go ahead with a heat pump are slowly but surely falling away”

A lot of mystery around cutting climate change emissions, but 1) Electrifying everything and 2) Generating electricity from renewables, does a lot of heavy lifting.

Analysis: China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months - Carbon Brief China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were unchanged from a year earlier in the third quarter of 2025, extending a flat or falling trend that started in March 2024.

Tetra Pak launches integrated heat pump system to electrify pasteurization and cut energy use by up to 77% Tetra Pak announces the expansion of its Factory Sustainable Solutions portfolio with its new Tetra Pak Integrated Heat Pump system for pasteurizers, designed t

Tetra Pak just launched a heat-pump-based pasteurization system that can cut energy use by up to 77%.

Electrification + heat recovery = massive efficiency gains. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes innovation that quietly transforms entire sectors.

Put the kettle on and over 47% of the electricity heating your cup of tea is from the wind! Amazing how much renewables have grown, go back to 2013 and coal was a major source. grid.iamkate.com

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.

Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

Look how it's growing! Renewable capacity is accelerating in the UK www.power-technology.com/analyst-comm...

UK adds 1.9 GW of solar in 12 months Latest government figures record 20.7 GW deployed PV capacity at the end of October 2025, up 10.4% in a 12-month period. Surge in contracts for difference (CfD) supported connections recorded in 2025 ...

Something uplifting: There's been a big surge in solar power capacity in the UK over the past year
