Thrive Renewables

More shared ownership in renewables on the horizon for rural Scotland Critics of the mass rollout of energy developments often cite large profits going to private investors and multinational companies rather than local communities.

This week our CEO, Matthew Clayton, sat down with @katharinehay.bsky.social from @scotsman.com to discuss the newly launched Local Power Plan 💡

Big day for community energy 🎉

Government has published its Local Power Plan, promising £1 billion of investment into local and community energy 💡

#communityenergy #localpowerplan #cleanenergy

Our wind, solar and hydro projects generated enough clean electricity to power over 40,500 typical UK homes last year 🏠​

Upping generation from 2024.

Lots to unpack at Solar Finance & Investment Europe Summit next week– at a really exciting time of growth for the sector

Our Chief Investment Officer, Monika Paplaczyk, is looking forward to speaking on the latest developments in financing #renewables👇

By limiting the role of gas power plants in setting electricity prices, wind farms saved Britain around £38 per MWh last year.

More renewables = cheaper, cleaner, electricity.

Most people support climate action but believe - incorrectly – that they are in the minority.

Here’s how we can support each other more and come together to accelerate action on the climate crisis 👇

2026 is set to be another exciting year of progress for clean energy 💡

From developments in community energy to further grid reforms, these are some of the changes we expect to help shape the deployment of renewables this year 👇

Many congratulations to the Chair of our Board, Jo Butlin, who has been awarded an OBE for services to net zero and diversity in the energy sector.

This achievement recognises Jo’s significant leadership and impact on the UK’s energy transition over many years.

2025 was a record year for UK renewables.

But gas generation also rose slightly.

To meet rising electricity demand in a clean and sustainable way, it's so important that we keep pushing to accelerate the roll out of renewables.

Wishing you all a happy and restful holiday season ❄️

Thank you to everyone that’s worked with us this year to help tackle climate change. Bring on 2026.

#renewables #climateaction

This year we’ve seen solar and wind reach new highs. And we’ve celebrated some big milestones of our own at Thrive.

With 2026 just around the corner, here are just a few of our highlights from 2025 👇

By accelerating renewables, storage and a more flexible grid, we can reduce reliance on expensive, imported fossil fuels.

Decarbonisation could halve energy costs by 2050 📣​

New analysis from @neso-energy.bsky.social suggests meeting emissions targets could cut energy costs from 10% of GDP to 5% in the next 25 years.

Greetings from Number 10 🎄

This week our Chief Investment Officer, Monika, was invited to Downing Street for a reception with the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves.

The event brought together entrepreneurs from across the UK, marking the release of the government's Entrepreneurship in the UK prospectus.

UK wind power reaches all-time high 🎉​

@neso-energy.bsky.social has announced that the UK’s wind farms generated over 23,000MW electricity on 5th December, beating the maximum generation record of 22,000MW set less than a month ago.

Clean energy now produces around 60% of UK’s electricity mix.

Fantastic time at the Scottish Green Energy Awards last night 🎉

Huge congrats to all the amazing winners. It was brilliant to celebrate some of the incredible innovations and progress in the renewables space together.

Looking forward to seeing what 2026 holds for the sector.

Railways: Firms develop new tech to electrify trains Railway operators have new options for electric trains including getting rid of locomotives altogether.

Brilliant to see @ridingsunbeams.bsky.social featured in this BBC news piece by @chrisbaraniuk.com.

We’re really proud to be invested in this innovative venture - connecting renewable energy into electrified rail routes to power trains 🚆​
