https://renews.biz/100896/european-energy-powers-up-uk-solar-farm/ A 20MW solar farm near Bath has been switched on. Built with claims around enhancing biodiversity etc. Wonder what those measures actually are? https://uk.europeanenergy.com/our-projects/marksbury-plain/ Article says tree planting. ...

My first thought might be “Which side of the water meter is it?”

Grid stability is one thing and continuing fossil fuel generation is another. I am all for running without fossil generation at every opportunity. That means having sufficient fossil generation to hand only if/when needed. IIRC, the local open circuit gas station could start generating in about 8 mi...

I plonked in ”BESS capacity in the UK?” as a search in Goggle. It says 4.6GW (end of ‘24) as first hit and a few hits later it says 3.4GW is operational, as at April this year. Obviously there's a large discrepancy and maybe the truth lies somewhere between those reports. Duration and typical SOC re...

A cement works flue gas contains lots of CO2, from the calcined limestone and fuel burned, so would be a far better place to site this process. At least the heat for decomposing the limestone would have been part of the normal cement manufacturing process. I, too, think the whole thing is a stupid w...

I do check, on my car, that the journey distance agrees with that indicated by goggle maps (I often deviate from a goggle route to see if distance and journey times are altered by my modified route). I haven’t actually ever checked the increase in total mileage recorded - I’ve never needed to - but ...

I can't read that article, but have seen others on the subject. I recall the claimant saying that the car is clocking up 72 miles on a 20 mile trip, and this is because of the predictive algorithm used by Tesla for estimating range covered ......... :facepalm: That should equate to about three and ...

On the other hand there is still a huge amount of hype around offshore wind conferences and amongst recruitment agents, however I feel that the reality is different. I’ve no real comment on the industry position, but my obvious comment to the above is ‘‘what else would you expect from the examples ...

Don’t see many public chargers at 7p a kWh round my area? Great investment The comparison is with home charging! Those lucky (hardworking) enough to have a private driveway buy the fuel for their car at 7p/kWh while people who live in flats pay 39p. Hardly seems fair. Our neighbour is having a gull...

A far better record than one isolated “half-hour record” of solar generation, if applied/related to the monthly national (or personal) generation?
