London is the region with the biggest share of private renter homelessness cases caused by landlords evicting to re-let. The Renters' Rights Bill will make a huge difference in the capital - but without further protections, landlords selling up will still fuel homelessness

New Fundacja Instrat analysis underscores the need for a gender-inclusive just transition. Women make up only 30% of Polish industry jobs, with high levels of female unemployment in coal regions. The transition is a key opportunity to address this. instrat.pl/en/gender-resp…

Low carbon energy security means we can keep the lights on, lower bills & cut emissions. Thanks to investments in renewables, interconnectors & flexibility, blackout risk in Great Britain is at the ‘lowest in four years’ despite the end of coal. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

Nice write-up Tim Stickings on EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators's scathing verdict of Europe's major grid operators' scenarios. I note for Beyond Fossil Fuels @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social operators “are failing to plan for the necessary scale of renewables” which could increase energy bills & slow the transition thenationalnews.com/news/europe/20…

New International Energy Agency report highlights that while renewables are booming, a major effort to support their integration is critical to avoid gridlock: 👩‍🔧Build & modernise 25 million km of electricity grids ⚡️Boost demand flexibility 🔋1,500 GW storage capacity by 2030 iea.org/news/massive-g…

Exciting to (finally) see the UK getting it's long-duration energy storage funding mechanism off the ground. This will be essential for 2030 clean power & to end the need for gas power stations to be kept online as "backup". thetimes.com/business-money…

Distribution grids are critical for unlocking the clean industries of Europe's future, including: 🌞70% of renewables 🚗30mn EVs 🏠60mn heat pumps Despite this, many are slowing down the transition. Major industry groups are calling for change eudsoentity.eu/publications/d…

As farmers in rural communities report of one of the worst harvests in history due to climate breakdown, it's disappointing to see the Guardian run with a Telegraph-worthy headline opposing clean energy infrastructure in those very same areas. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/2…

Germany is proposing a huge gas subsidy by launching a 'capacity market' to prop-up uneconomic gas plants Our partners BUND, Deutsche Umwelthilfe, WWF Deutschland & others "firmly reject" expansion of fossil subsidies, and warn of carbon lock-in from overreliance on CCS & hydrogen

Welcome to hear the gov confirm funding for the Warm Homes Plan, providing certainty for installers & local authorities. £13.2bn was committed to home upgrades in the Labour Manifesto, so all eyes on the Comprehensive Spending Review in Spring to deliver the remaining £10bn🏠

Solidarity with the people of Spain affected by floods this week #DANA. More global heating means more climate disasters. The climate is not waiting, we need to urgently exit #fossilfuels.

Absolute nonsense in the Sun and Telegraph today claiming that the NESO report says Ed Miliband's plans will "restrict when you can boil the kettle" or require mandatory blackouts. It will make energy cheaper as Adam Vaughan reports in the Times thetimes.com/uk/environment…
