The North Sea as Europe's green power plant.

300 gigawatts of electricity are to be produced by offshore wind turbines in the North Sea by 2050.

Amazing how the US has still managed to fall behind the EU in solar PV. 179 vs 263 GW installed, end-2023.

Danish city heated by monster CO2 heat pumps, providing flexibility to an electricity system powered by lots of wind and solar energy. From 29 minutes in provides a good insight into the potential. 1600 euros a home, plus the heat network cost of course: youtube.com/watch?v=-bIlAk…

The Scandinavians use electric boilers with district heating, which I find astonishing when big electric heat pumps can have a COP of 300%. I guess in their freezing continental winters they don't have access to our unfrozen water and cold but not icy soggy air as heat sources.

Long-durational thermal storage is coming.

The world's largest thermal storage project is underway in Finland with a capacity of 90 GWh, enough to meet the heating demands of a medium-sized city for up to a year.

UK electricity networks should be regulated to encourage adoption of low carbon technologies, heat pumps, PV, batteries, EV chargers etc. via guaranteed service standards and performance incentives. Performance should also be the same across country.

Insane this isn't a thing.

Great report Tony!
