Fuel poverty ‘shocker’ should power energy reform

The show’s host Calum Macdonald asked if something was “just not clicking” between policy and legislation.

Using Viking Energy Windfarm as an example, Mr Macdonald said the windfarm could power up to half a million homes but its owner SSE was given £2 million to switch off its turbines in August.

He added that fuel poverty in the isles was around 30 per cent.

UK’s #SmartMeter targets leaving energy users short-changed, says Martin Lewis

I’d suggest shifting firms’ targets from smart meter installations to the overall number of ‘working’ smart meters, which would incentivise firms to do both installations and repairs

Nearly 4m smart meters are malfunctioning in the UK, leaving some householders facing life-changing bills, according to figures released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Repairs are slow, if they happen at all, as resources are focused on installs, leaving consumers frustrated and at risk of misbilling and further problems

Norway's energy sector under threat of Russian sabotage, Norwegian security chief says

Norway's energy sector is under threat of #sabotage from Russia, Norwegian security chief Beate Gangaas told Reuters on Aug. 27, as European security services briefed Norwegian energy officials on potential Russian threats.

Norway is a key provider of #oil, #gas, and #electricity for Europe, overtaking Russia as Europe's top gas supplier in 2022.

"When we are talking about sabotage today, we are talking about Russia,"

#Bosnian #Pyramid of the #Sun: I entered 30,000-year-old Tunnels under the Oldest Pyramid:

The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is rumored to be 30,000 years old. In this video, I investigate and confirm that it is legitimate.

The Bosnian pyramid is larger than the Egyptian pyramid in Giza. The Pyramid in Bosnia is also much older.

Ukraine’s energy crisis drives green power decentralization

Ukraine wants to generate more #energy in smaller amounts closer to users, rather than centralized facilities that are targets for #Russian strikes. Though the war has created willpower to redesign the energy system, it has also created serious obstacles

Renewable energy projects have taken off as well. The Energy Ministry announced on July 2 that it had received 5,876 solar panels to power hospitals, as part of an agreement with the European Commission.

Hybrid systems, which integrate solar power, battery storage, and existing energy grid infrastructure, can bridge the gap between when a blackout begins and a hospital’s generator kicks in

‘You have power, or you don’t:’ Ukraine’s energy crisis drives power decentralization
