Figures from @beisgovuk show generation of wind power in the UK increased by 715% between 2009 and 2020.
According to @NationalGridUK, 2020 was the “greenest year on record” for Britain, with record high levels of wind energy generation http://ow.ly/tVoP50FavqZ
The next decade will be a time of rapid growth for #offshorewind. We're working on:
💨 More interconnectors with neighbouring countries to utilise excess #windenergy
💨 A new way to connect #windturbines with minimal disruption to coastal communities
#GlobalWindDay
Work to lay the cable for the world's longest electricity interconnector is now complete. 🔌
On windy days, #NorthSeaLink will share excess #windpower with Norway and on calm days the UK can import #hydropower. 🇳🇴🇬🇧

Today, @nationalgriduk joined #EV100 as the first major US utility to make a fleet commitment. By electrifying their 5,784 vehicle fleet, they're sending a strong signal that electric transport will be the new normal by 2030. Read more ⬇️
Schools across the UK can now download the @COP26 Schools Pack.
We worked with @SustainFirst to develop materials on #sustainability and #climateaction to inspire the next generation of climate leaders ➡️ https://bit.ly/3xaCbcL

Transport makes up 23% of energy-related #carbonemissions globally and over 50% of new vehicles go into company fleets. By joining @ClimateGroup #EV100, we’re doing our part to integrate #EVs into our fleet and increase EV uptake within our workforce. https://ngrid.com/2TkA9be
Join our live event TOMORROW at 1pm
We'll be discussing what role #tech can play in helping to mobilise #ClimateAction and asking what the risks are.

👩🔬 "We need to overcome the deeply embedded barriers discouraging young girls and women from pursuing climate focused roles."
Alice Delahunty at @nationalgriduk argues we need to address the green skills gap by tackling gender imbalance ♀️

One of the ways we're driving change is by preparing for the transition to #electricvehicles. @nationalgridus has launched the #EV Road Trip in Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island, making it easier to plan a summer road trip around EV charging points. #NGCleanGetAway
Ready to hit the road this summer? Whether you have an electric vehicle or you're looking for ways to travel more sustainably, join us on our EV Road Trip as we mindfully explore exciting destinations in the communities we serve & beyond! #NGCleanGetaway https://ngrid.com/3uHgXBK
Interconnectors act like sub-sea energy super-highways for #cleanenergy. By 2045, consumers could benefit from £20bn in energy savings resulting from the two-way exchange in #renewableenergy with Europe, in addition to increased energy security and flexibility.
Britain’s average #gasdemand in May was 20% lower than in April but the cool weather meant domestic gas usage was 20% higher than May 2020 and 2019. We transported 67bn kWh of #gas, enough energy to drive an electric car to the moon and back over half a million times! 🔌 🚗
