Gas power costs are reaching energy crisis levels again in the UK, which will inevitably push bills up for consumers. The fortunes of the British economy are still tied to the price of a single fossil fuel. When bills go up, remember that this is the reason why.

Tate brothers bail denial has lots of funny evidence. Including them boasting in social media about ignoring court dates and using multiple passports, including forged ones to jump jurisdictions “I'm untouchable because I've spent a decade spreading myself into MANY grids.” Apparently you didn't

Solar output in the UK recorded an all-time high in July, reaching 3.2 TWh. 33% higher than July last year. Accelerating solar deployment coincided with a historically sunny month to produce this record. Solar power is delivering when heatwaves are at their worst.

July marks the first consecutive twelve month period where wind generated more electricity than gas in the UK...in every single month. In the last decade, wind generation in the UK has more than doubled, pushing first coal and now gas out of the mix.

NEW | Solar generated a QUARTER of EU electricity in June 🇪🇺⚡️ Solar was also the single largest source of power generation (25%) ahead of nuclear (21%), gas (15%) and wind (14%). Five years ago, in 2021, solar was still at 10% in June.

California's electricity generation from gas in June so far is way down compared to previous years: -40% from 2025 -70% from 2021 Solar + battery storage are pushing gas out in the middle of the day and evening peak. A big step-up in wind generation is reducing gas further.

So yeah it is really sunny, but it still surprises me when I look at UK electricity generation and solar is the single biggest contributor. Doesn't seem like we've even pushed the envelope on solar deployment and we're achieving this.
Chart showing 38.7%of electricity generation in the UK is from solar currently.
