Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Suppose I had to do this. Would be slightly different tomorrow obviously. 330
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 10/10/2026@jeniiannettahardie.bsky.social Pumpkin cheesecake and coffee from The Pastry Selection Tres bon. But they were nearly sold out at 1pm 020
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Very good day all round Creating more than GB uses all day.....and selling to the French! 030
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 10/10/2026@sidthesquid.bsky.social Thanks to you and the band for a great set in Glasgow last night. Hope you beat the flu, and don't share it! Only two more winters to go, we hope. 032
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Storming set from the Long Ryders, although Sid's voice was flu suffering. Plenty from this year's album, of which of course Four Winters Away is a terrific anthem, and now we are only two winters away - if we all survive. 030
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Black Demins first playing their bluegrass thang. Jolly good, and a great warm up. "I'm only in the dog house, 'cause you keep barking at me" 000
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 09/10/2026@gidcoe.bsky.social You did sound very live last night, or maybe I am just easily fooled? Anyway van has behaved, and now enjoying a outskirts of Glasgow coffee.. Nice to have time to kill 000
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 09/10/2026So here's the UK balance: Jackdaw replaces a bit of LNG in the summer (lowest demand). Porter doesn't say exact how much. Max 8 years. The coming extra 15 GW of renewable energy replaces 78 LNG tankers, every year, mainly in the winter (highest demand/price). www.energyvoice.com/markets/6048... 120
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 08/10/2026DNV report in Energy Voice saying that hydrogen's only role is in heavy industries. Everything else will be electrified? Glad that is finally sorted. Although most have been saying this for years. Now stop thinking about putting hydrogen in your methane. www.energyvoice.com/renewables-e... 010
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That would have been good / got me sacked. I had a Mohawk Revenge one, just a bit later era, but that fell apart from over use. Bought at gig labeled "Arthur Scargill's Christmas Party" 010
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Fresh run this morning May have to dig out the long runners and gloves soon. 030
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Loving my new (free) Smug app from Midsummer Energy to optimise the battery - will now probably start on the buy/export game. With Smug looking after the battery and Havenwise on the Heat Pump, I am now officially redundant. midsummerwholesale.co.uk/buy/smug @tom-s-bray.bsky.social 240
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 05/10/2026@leftpeggers.bsky.social Now I am truly Smug, or maybe even Smugger? Battery Optimisation..... 120
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Meet Scuba. Captain of the boat up Blackwater River out of Youghal, last month 100
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The downside to when a light bulb goes. It's very rare now but..... 110
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Just need to do your skirting boards, doors and facias now..... (Runs away to hide....) 100
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As somebody who likes to be sure, and not play the rate chasing game, happy with my Cosy average of circa 13p/KWh.........big batteries for the win! 120
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Homework for Friday. ....while ironing. @sidthesquid.bsky.social 041
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This will need UB40 to update their song to ... "I am the one in twenty A number on a list I am the one in twenty Even though I don't exist...." Yup, a whole 6% of the workforce earn more than £100,000. Now, what about doing something for the other 94%? 020
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Essentially the same view today, business side of the house. The good doctor her in door's treatment room. Exceptionally well insulated with underfloor heating, and compared to the rest of the house, that is just "well insulated" / radiators. Getting the balance is difficult! Ends up too hot!!! 100
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 03/10/2026A google reminder. 17 years ago this is what half our house looked like... 130
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Really? A few SCFs of gas and we'll all be ok? @dangrey.bsky.social @wiilp.bsky.social What does she know that we don't? 110
Pegdeg @pegdeg.bsky.social · 24/09/2026What about MPs that don't turn up to do a job we are paying them to do...... Won't save much but same principle 110
![Porter rightly points to the summer as the period at which Jackdaw volumes would have the most impact. But Great Britain’s demand is the lowest in summer.
Gas demand is highly seasonal. In summer it can fall to around 100 mcm per day. In winter, it can be 300 mcm. The coldest day of 2026, in early January, demand reached 407 mcm. Jackdaw would be around 4 mcm per day.
“During winter the UK needs to draw on all the gas it can, so we pull some gas away from Europe and bring in LNG. In winter, when it’s most needed, is when [Jackdaw] would have the least impact,” Aurora Energy Research research lead Jacob Mandel said. “The UK will have to draw on LNG no matter what.”
Taking the opposite position to Porter is Carbon Brief. The climate change publishers have pointed to this year’s allocation round – which awarded around 15 GW of renewable energy – as displacing 78 LNG tankers per year by 2030.
Seasonal weather has a notable impact on renewable generation. Winter increases wind generation while cutting solar.
The country may be facing higher summer temperatures, but winter is still – for now – the major challenge to energy planning and prices.
Meanwhile, in the summer, the UK exports gas. This tends to be Norwegian pipeline gas but also LNG flows, for transhipment into Europe. As a result, even if Jackdaw production removes the need for domestic consumption of LNG, those cargoes may keep on flowing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mgb5i3zeohrgkx47vzbvn3wc/bafkreifzx6msqmdjm6q6ckbynhc55gwqiqn44z4kmr4cqoftn623tl3yde)
