  3. Been "sunny periods with heavy showers" here today. Yet despite that, and it only being March, my #solar array has filled my battery, heated all my hot water, powered the house and is currently exporting to the Grid. 👍 #renewables #GreatBritishEnergy

  4. "Great British Energy Bill passes through parliament"

    'GB Energy will be backed by £8.3 billion during this parliament, which is expected to last until 2029. According to a notice issued by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) in March, “GB Energy will establish itself as an expert development partner and will develop, invest in, build and operate clean energy projects across the UK”.'

  5. "The Crown Estate, the monarchy’s property firm, owns much of the seabed surrounding Britain. Great British Energy will work with the firm to develop #OffshoreWind and other #CleanEnergy projects, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Thursday.

    #GreatBritishEnergy is to be backed by $10.7 billion in public funding over the next five years. The government is hoping that private investors can be persuaded to pour in another $77.3 billion in support."

  6. The government doesn't have plans for Great British Energy to sell direct to households - but it could!

    I just signed We Own It's petition asking Ed Miliband to buy back British Gas and give us cheaper bills.

  7. Buy back British Gas

    Under #Labour plans, #GreatBritishEnergy won’t sell direct to UK households - this is a missed opportunity

    Please buy back British Gas as the retail wing of the new company, so it can give us cheaper bills.

    63% of the population want to buy back #BritishGas. It is normal for households to be able to buy energy directly from a publicly owned company in other countries like France and Sweden.

  8. “Mister Lipwig, the world lives between those who say it cannot be done and those who say that it can. And in my experience, those who say that it can be done are usually telling the truth. It's just a matter of thinking creatively.”

  9. The #GreatBritishEnergy proposal is interesting. Pragmatic public investment in #renewables, with a little monarchic twist to overcome right-wing dogmas. (And to pretend it's very different from what Corbyn proposed in 2018. Now the private wind energy sector is begging for public equity, and new financial engineering means you don't need to mention 51% control.)

    Is the crown estate the new KfW/CdD/CdP for the #UK?

  10. @JackTheCat It's going to have its head office in Scotland. Which means the board of directors will fly up from London four times a year for a two hour meeting, and the rest of the year a contract cleaning firm will keep the house-plants in the building watered.
