cool. But how their electricity bills has changed in the last 5 years?
now that coal is gone, next on the line is to reduce the share of natural gas ( around 25% of electricity generation) over the past 12 months) as well as biomass( 7.88%) and imports( 14.34%)
combined share of wind and solar in UK over the past 12 months is 35.62%, up from 14% in 2015
Hopefully they will not all die of windmill cancer.
One of the few things we do well. Now we just need to pass the benefits onto the people
Thought Y was %. -110% coal – pretty impressive lol
Meanwhile in Germany..
Meanwhile when Thatcher was closing some of the unprofitable coal mines, then according to the left and the unions, end of the world was on the horizon…
Can’t wait for the day the peg price of electricity isn’t based on oil/gas.
It’s also weird that – on my electricity company (vattenfall) I elect that my electricity comes from Wind/Solar etc …
Yet I’m still paying the fossil fuel prices.
I get that at times the shortfall (if any) needs to be made up from fossil fuels still but what I don’t get is why my electricity isn’t priced at the renewable price per usage and then the fossil price for when that’s actually used.
Surely changing that would dramatically increase the number of people electing renewable as their primary.
Finally, some good news.
Oh noes, but they said it can not be done, they said there is not enough wind, they said we need nuclear power plants everywhere, they said….

is this the only thing that britain does well?
What happened to the missing ~50TWh?
That drop in coal is a beauty to behold.
Why is solar not growing anymore?
>2028
Why is electricity so expensive?
