A 116-year-old swimming pool is proving that clean energy can make a real difference. Since installing solar panels, Yearsley Swimming Pool has cut its grid electricity use by 53% and expects to save £25,000 a year on energy bills.

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’s electric car can be charged during the day using the solar energy generated on the roof and guests can use the charger too. 🚗⚡ As bills rise, her 12 year old investment seems pretty smart today!.

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.

Nick has been installing heat pumps for five years, after retraining with @heat-geek.bsky.social. Today, around 95% of Duo’s work is heat pumps. Get the design right, and comfort can become something you barely have to think about.⚡️

Electrify Britain @electrifygb.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

For Nick, the magic is in the design. Size a heat pump around the home using an accurate heat-loss calculation, and it can quietly do its job in the background.🏠️ An outdoor sensor responds to the weather, while an app gives you control.

⚡️ 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.

Moving levies off electricity bills is one way to close that gap, accelerate electrification and strengthen our energy security by reducing our dependence on oil and gas.

Electrify Britain @electrifygb.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

⚡ 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.

creating a calmer and safer working environment. It's a great example of why the conversation around electrification needs to be about more than technology. It's about how these changes work in real businesses, for real people, every day.

Electric cooking also offers greater precision and control, helping chefs achieve consistent results and the quality their customers expect. Then there's the kitchen environment itself. Moving away from gas hobs can mean less noise and fewer pollutants produced directly in the kitchen,

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

To give our pubs more security, and help guarantee their place in our towns and villages long into the future, we need: ⚡️ A proper electrification strategy ⚡️ Cheaper electricity ⚡️ A faster rollout of the heating and cooking systems that run on it

Local pubs are vital community hubs and major local employers, and a vital cultural heartbeat of our high streets. If we want to protect these institutions and safeguard jobs, we cannot treat commercial energy pressures as an afterthought. www.thesun.co.uk/money/401842...

For people living in flats with balconies, plug-in solar could offer a new way to generate their own electricity where rooftop solar isn't an option. And with energy bills rising again, every bit of savings could help.

☀️🔌 Plug in. Switch on. Save money. Big news for UK households: plug-in solar panels are now available to buy in shops across the UK! ⚡ More affordable than rooftop solar 🛠️ Easy to install – no engineer required 🔌 Just plug in and start generating electricity

Yet the 'fundamental reforms' and 'long term' solutions the government are signalling this morning really need to go beyond existing debates over power and pricing.

Electrify Britain @electrifygb.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

In the shortest term, it should use the Budget to shift more policy costs off electricity, saving households money and encouraging people to invest in air con and heat pumps.

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.

The future is electric. The question is whether we make it easier to get there, or keep giving people reasons to stick with petrol. At Electrify Britain, we know demand is there. Let's match it with ambition. 🔌 🔗 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Electric vehicle sales targets could be cut after pressure from car makers

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

EVs are better to drive, cheaper to run, better for air quality and a huge opportunity for British industry. Instead of easing targets, let's make switching easier: more affordable EVs, better charging, bigger incentives and more confidence. 🚗

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. ⚡️

Solar is helping to lower running costs while keeping businesses moving. Now we need policies that make solar more accessible and affordable, so more households and businesses across Britain can benefit from these savings. ⚡

The savings speak for themselves. ⚡ 🏠 The average UK household can save around £1,000 a year on electricity bills by installing solar panels and a battery. 🍦 Styles Ice Cream saved £14,000 in 2025 by producing and selling ice cream using solar power.

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.

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.

Until we shift to electric heating, driving and manufacturing we will remain exposed to oil and gas prices. This is a good early move from the PM that will bring down bills for households across the country, whilst leaving room to go further in the autumn
