Well blow us away! We have now validated the data and the wind record from Wednesday 25 May is even higher than expected - confirmed at 19.916GW. Whoosh! 🎐🌬️🌪️🍃

On Saturday #wind produced 51.2% of British electricity, more than nuclear 18.3%, gas 14.5%, imports 7.1%, solar 5.8%, biomass 1.9%, hydro 1.2%, coal 0.0%, coal 0.0% *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

Whoa! I’ve never seen this before. 100% zero carbon electricity to welcome the world to #COP26

Genuinely find this a bit hard to get my head around. In Great Britain, 65 million inhabitants – AND business, industry, etc – were using just 13.4GW of electricity at one point over the weekend (probs early Sunday morning). 💡💡Just two 100W old-style lightbulbs per person 🤯

ESO confirms last weekend saw a new lowest demand of 13.4GW - although no ODFM was activated

Another milestone for Britain! 👏 #CoalFree run of 1000 hours & counting! We now need to make sure we go further and faster in decarbonising our economy and base our economic recovery around the #NetZero target.

Excited to join @uniofeastanglia @SustainableUEA @ueasu_cap at today's sustainability-focused strategy development 'Big Shift Big Day', informing UEA's vision and Plan 2020-2025. Wonderful to hear about UEA's aims. Personal favourite existing thing: uea.ac.uk/documents/3154…

!Record alert!👊 January was the greenest 🍃 ever in terms of GB's #electricity ⚡️ system! Mild temperatures 🌡️ led to the lowest ever average carbon intensity - (the amount of carbon produced for every kilowatt). (Jan 2020 figure of 209gCO2/kwh is the blue dot below🔵!) 1/2

Wind is the cheapest new electricity generation technology in the UK. Cheaper than coal, gas and solar.

When it comes to cheap electricity, the centre of gravity is shifting rapidly away from fossil fuels around the world. Amazing table based on @BloombergNEF bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-…

Great Britain’s power system reached its lowest ever instantaneous carbon dioxide emissions intensity at 3.24pm this afternoon — 39g/kWh — as #renewables generated 67% of electricity (87% low carbon), beating previous low of 51g at 2.40am on 11/8/19. ➡️ electricinsights.co.uk

Zero-carbon generation provided more of Britain's power than carbon-emitting generation, year to May 2019. Wow. bbc.in/2ZGBE1F

We've now installed and fully commisioned half the turbines on Hornsea One... that's 87 of the 174 total in just FOUR MONTHS! 😮😮 In the words of @jonbonjovi "WOAH! WE'RE HALFWAY THERE!!" 🙌🙌Another 87 to go before it officially becomes the world's largest offshore wind farm!

Another one gone. 5 to go!

ANOTHER UK coal-fired power station is to close, leaving just FIVE plants remaining: SSE plans to close 1.5GW Fiddlers Ferry by 31/3/2020 sse.com/newsandviews/a… HT @doug_parr

Great news!!!

+++BREAKING+++ Great Britain has been running for a record TWO WEEKS without using coal to generate electricity – the first time this has happened since 1882. The country’s grid has been coal-free for 45% of hours in 2019 so far. carbonbrief.org/countdown-to-2…

Not only is Britain edging towards its first ever #coalfreefortnight, we've now gone over 624 hours in May 2019 without burning coal to generate our electricity. 624 was how many #coalfree hours GB had in the whole of 2017. 🏭❌

Fossil fuels contributing less than 15% of GB electricity right now.
