How do you heat a city with freezing cold seawater? The answer lies in Esbjerg, Denmark, where one of the world's largest heat pumps is transforming the North Sea into a sustainable energy source.

New record: The world’s most powerful wind turbine prototype has been installed. The dimensions of this are mind-boggling: With a blade wheel diameter exceeding 310m and hub height of 185m this turbine represents a significant leap forward in wind power technology.

Solar will be the largest global source of electricity by 2033 & wind will be second largest by ~2035! Global solar generation will quadruple from 2023-2030! Why are petrostate politicos freaking out? See below & EVs. EVs may displace 6 million b/d of oil by 2030.

☀️ Dundalk Town Hall continues to harness the power of the sun — 11% of its electricity in July came from Solar PV! A bright step toward a more sustainable future. 🌍⚡

Next stop France! Really pleased to see work start on an electricity cable linking Ireland to France, a small step towards a European #Supergrid that will lower bills, and emissions. #CelticInterconnector rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

In July 2025, solar and wind power plants fed 63 TWh of electricity into the public grid in the European Union. Compared to July 2024, this represents an increase of 8.8 percent. energy-charts.info/charts/energy/…

No single technology will replace fossil fuels. We need a mix of wind, solar and batteries to store renewable energy. Offshore wind has the potential to generate more energy than Ireland uses today. That opens the door to new industries, new manufacturing and even clean energy…

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analysed the cost of solar in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar panels can be cheaper than using wood.

In the UK, retail electricity company @OctopusEnergy is now offering a £299 / month lease on a BYD Dolphin EV, + free home charging, + vehicle to grid. They're using the vehicle battery as a VPP, to balance the grid and shift peak electricity loads. Sweet deal all around.

To all the reply guys saying how renewables are a terrible idea. I hate to break it to you but >90% of new generation capacity built is now renewable energy, mainly solar & wind. Data from @IRENA

At one point, Moneypoint generated a quarter of Irish electricity with coal. No more coal-fired power stations on the island now.
