I’ve tracked the full history of this iconic overcurrent relay from installation to retirement. And over its 71 year life it’s quite astounding that I know (or know of via second person) all of the engineers who cared for it. Electricity Supply is only 139 years old

If you were in charge of the country, what would YOU do to look after the planet? This is the question we’re asking the UK’s schoolchildren in our competition, to give the next generation a voice at COP26 attendees #VoicesForAGreenFuture #COP26 youtube.com/watch?v=hd30yq…

📣 GOOD LUCK!!!! 📣 To all of the amazing London Marathon 2021 runners in @TeamMacmillan thank you for all your hard work, we can’t wait to cheer you on this Sunday 3rd October 👏🏻💚 Macmillan Cancer Support @MacmillanLondon

#ANNOUNCEMENT: EPRI is launching a new, 3-year initiative to address power system climate resilience & adaptation called #ClimateREADi. The framework embodies one of the most comprehensive, integrated approaches to physical climate risk assessment: epri.com/about/media-re…

A new report, Engineering Ethics: maintaining society’s trust in the engineering profession, seeks to ensure that ethical culture and practice become embedded in the engineering profession in the same way as health and safety considerations. buff.ly/36upRMv

Yesterday #wind generated 47.7% of British electricity, more than gas 25.1%, nuclear 15.4%, biomass 5.0%, solar 3.4%, hydro 1.8%, imports 1.5%, coal 0.0%, coal 0.0% *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

I am as gripped by the Westminster soap opera as anyone but could I make a plea to those providing & reporting on the endless supply of anonymous quotes about changing PM for the 4th time in 6 years to recognise that there's something rather important at stake here #notagame

🙌 MASSIVE WIN!

Let's celebrate engineering! #GBBO engineers have secretly teamed up to engineer a unique, edible, clock cake to represent how engineers across the UK are improving our lives. 🍰 🕰️ #NationalEngineeringDay Find out how they made it: thisisengineering.org.uk/latest/nationa…

On #NationalEngineeringDay I’m joining @thisiseng in celebrating the engineers making our lives better. Why not be part of the future and join the Net Zero Energy workforce to help us build these new beauties (Somerset yesterday)! #nationalgrid

Delighted to have moved into my new constituency office on Theale High Street Held a meeting today with local councillors & representatives of the Tilehurst Poor's Land Charity to discuss their potential housing development plans Constituents can email me for a meeting summary

Yesterday #wind produced 48.4% of British electricity followed by gas 30.6%, nuclear 12.3%, biomass 4.4%, hydro 1.9%, imports 1.5%, solar 0.8%, coal 0.2%, other 0.0% *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

Calling it: UK electricity grid is right this moment effectively meeting 100% of demand with green energy, including nuclear imports from France The grid still requires a small amount of fossil generation to maintain inertia in system, but it’s less than amount we’re exporting

🏅RECORDS BROKEN 🏅 🌬 The record for max wind generation has been toppled again - with #ZeroCarbon generation also peaking at 87.2% for the first time 😲 Join us on the journey to #NetZero by downloading the free #WhenToPlugIn #app today 📲

The UK is on track for 50% of new cars to be electric by 2027, and almost 100% by 2030 - from about zero in 2016 That's the power of “S-curve” demand: devastating for the incumbent fossil-fuel powered technology carbontracker.org/one-in-three-u… #climate

🥇THE WIND RECORD HAS BEEN BROKEN AGAIN! 🌬 Yesterday saw 21,620 MW of #CleanEnergy generated by #Wind - beating the previous best, recorded only 12 days ago! Join us on the journey to #NetZero by downloading the free #WhenToPlugIn #app today 📲
