Great quick visit to #yeg for 36 hours. Always critical to fit in a river valley run.

Australia has been addicted to coal for a long time. But that is changing now with coal on the decline and wind and solar taking off. Data is from @EmberClimate.

Clear message in the The New York Times today from Global Renewables Alliance asking for clear details in countries NDCs on x3 #renewables and action on grids and storage. #climateweekNYC

Privileged to attend Global Renewables Alliance Summit at #climateweekNYC to join a roundtable on grids with government and industry. Welcomed remarks from Minister Kerry McCarthy speaking about the future of Green Grids Initiative! @NationalGridESO is proud to support GGI. #Time4Grids

Following the closure of #coal yesterday in 🇬🇧, today marks a new energy chapter as National Grid ESO becomes National Energy System Operator. Check out what that means for the #energytransition in Great Britain and Europe. 👇 politico.eu/sponsored-cont…

Read our Chief Executive, Fintan Slye, outline in the The Guardian how we can work collectively with the whole energy sector, alongside other sectors, such as water, transport, telecommunications and industry to deliver clean power by 2030. 👇

How many people are aware that US per-capita CO₂ emissions have fallen below WWI levels

Without a doubt. Lauren Hunter remains the queen of Halloween.

"Clean power by 2030" is "achievable…without increasing costs" & would insulate the UK from "volatile intl gas prices", says NESO But we'll need to 2x onshore wind, 3x offshore wind & solar + massively ramp up flex & storage to get there A few observations…🧵

Exciting prologue to tomorrow from #COP29 Presidency as the COP looks to discuss commitments to long duration storage and grid build out. Critical infrastructure in the #energytransition. Tinne Van der Straeten echoes the call for countries to sign the grids pledge.

Another #energyday at #COP29. My first with National Energy System Operator. Important as the world looks closer at the expansion of grids and the decarbonization of power systems. Craig Dyke #cleanpower
