What can a 1,000-year-old cathedral teach us about the future of energy? At @yorkminster.bsky.social, solar panels are helping to reduce the building’s electricity costs by around one-third, allowing it to reinvest in the Minster’s other projects.

Gillian installed solar at Rose Dene B&B in Scarborough 12 years ago. ☀️ Today, those panels are still working hard - helping power the B&B and charge her electric car.

⚡️ Heat pumps aren’t complicated. They’re about getting the design right - then letting the system quietly keep your home comfortable. At this home in Stowerby Bridge, we met Nick from Duo Heating & Renewables, an engineer since 17.

⚡ The UK has one of the widest spark gaps in Europe, making it harder for households and businesses to switch to electric technologies. High electricity costs are holding Britain back.

Delicious food, more precise cooking, and less clean-up time. Who wouldn’t want an electrified professional kitchen? We visited Singapulah Restaurant in London to see their electrified kitchen in action, and to hear about the difference it can make for the people working in it

Reacting to today's price cap rise announcement, our Director of Policy and Advocacy, Ben Westerman, reports: “Today’s cap, driven by further rises in the gas price, shows once again that the government needs to free households from dependence on oil and gas.

Electrify Britain @electrifygb.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

If Britain is serious about building a future beyond oil and gas, we can't stop at generating clean electricity. We need to help people use it. Watering down the ZEV mandate may buy time today, but it risks slowing the transition. ⚡️

Electrify Britain @electrifygb.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

With the holiday season well underway, we're reflecting on our recent solar-powered ice cream adventure in Westminster. ☀️🍦 It was a great way to start conversations about how electric technologies like solar panels can help households, businesses and community spaces cut their energy costs.

Electrify Britain @electrifygb.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Can solar power make ice cream taste better? We think so! 🍦☀️ We brought solar-powered ice cream to Westminster, where MPs heard how Styles Ice Cream cut energy bills by switching to solar-powered production and retail.

It may seem a subtle move - but by choosing to take VAT off electricity only - rather than gas - it appears that the govt has finally gotten the memo that the priority is to get Britain using our homegrown clean power ⚡️ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Britain's energy future is electric - and the public knows it. Our new research with @moreincommonuk.bsky.social found 60% of people expect most homes and businesses to run mainly on electricity within 20 years. Just 12% think oil and gas will still dominate.

Tomorrow's #EnergyPriceCap increase is another reminder our energy system isn't working. New research with @moreincommonuk.bsky.social found just 1 in 25 people think it's run in the interests of 'ordinary households'. Energy bills remain the UK's biggest cost of living concern.
