Our latest blog is now live! 📰 In it, we set out to examine the most common criticisms levelled at renewable energy, dispel some popular myths, and state its case as the country’s route to the lowest cost electricity by 2035, with all the system costs included and other

I wrote a thing with Nathan Bennett 👇

Just a guess, but I suspect we are about to discover a surprising number of hitherto unknown experts on power system frequency stability and cascading relays.

No doub there will be lots of pepole jumping on solar/wind/renewables as the cause. Rumours of cyber attacks abound. We don't know. As Jeremy says, this is unprecedented, let's wait until we have some facts before pointing fingers...

While I don't know exactly what happened, and we should wait for the full investigation, let me explain exactly what happened here from my comfy armchair. I'm not a power system engineer, but I've seen some charts on the Internet 🧵
