🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗 Yesterday #wind power hit 𝟭𝟴.𝟭𝗚𝗪 on GB's #electricity system at 10.30pm ⚡️🌬️ – over 850MW clear of the previous record. Wind is still generating at near record levels, so we'll monitor. We crunch the numbers overnight for accuracy – watch this space!

So Andy Brace (one of The Baking Forecast (Great Britain) team) has created this sleek, low-power Raspberry Pi based display so you can keep an eye on current and forecast renewable generation (+Octopus Energy Agile prices). Full instructions on how to recreate it available at the link👇 Nice one!

It's a really good weekend for baking. Forecast renewable ⚡️ levels between 45-55% right up until Sunday evening. So good to see! Might go for a bit of homebrewing too, which involves a lot of kettle... Cheers🍻

If you are looking for teaching activities, here is a great one from Energy Sparks 👇 with the amazing bonus that you hopefully get baked goods at the end of it. Great to see shouldibake.com used in this way😀 Please share and let us know how you get on!

WOWEEE Even Damian Albran is getting behind the #mogwai Number 1 Race Well done!! Mogwai

Experimenting with ambient info/art this weekend. This portrait stands in my kitchen and smiles/frowns depending on current level of renewable generation (via ng_eso) and Octopus Energy Agile price. Uses a Raspberry Pi Zero and low-powered pimoroni eink display.

I've been running Andy Brace's e-ink display for Octopus Energy Agile and The Baking Forecast (Great Britain) info for a few weeks now. I have to say I find it super-useful. And the pimoroni Inky display looks good in an old cassette case stand (if I say so myself) x.com/openbookuk/sta…

The MagPi - Now Raspberry Pi Official Magazine Here is v1 of my universal analog meter with eink display that can be set to any scale (here for example renewable elec on GB grid and moon phase). Parts: Raspberry Pi zero, Waveshare Electronics display, Meccano gears. I'll put a video of it in action in the reply

Nearly 60% of car journeys are under 5 miles. There's a better tool for the job. For short journeys #BikeIsBest

Great to see Andy Brace's display showing The Baking Forecast (Great Britain) @NationalGridESO renewable ⚡️ and Octopus Energy Agile price info featured in @TheMagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine! (PS all the 🌞 in next few days means ➡️🍞🧁👌)

The 1st episode of The Promonews Podcast - Talking Music Videos is out now. In our first tentative step into this sort of thing, delighted to chat with COMPULSORY.'s Lee Fairweather. #musicvideos #podcast #directorsrep #musicvideochat open.spotify.com/episode/5Vnv1O…

✅We need more renewable generators, but also ✅We can get the renewable ⚡️% up by focusing on energy demand reduction ✅We can make use of high renewable ⚡️% times (like tomorrow), but also ✅We can ask our MPs what they are doing to support home energy efficiency

🚨 Today and tomorrow are an island in the recent sea of low 🌬️. If you were planning to bake, this is your time.

If these figures are anything to go by, it is indeed going to be a happy new year 😊 if you're new to The Baking Forecast (Great Britain) (hello), well over half of GB electricity is currently coming from wind, solar, and hydro power!
