We got moved from pure planet to shell energy. Our combined bill predicted to rise by £1444 this year, gas and electric both roughly doubling. Attached to the same email they're signalling their green credentials and claiming all their electric is 100% renewable. I understand gas wholesale prices pushing up bills but why is the cost of electricity increasing if it's 100% renewable?
I’ve always wondered the same , that if they can only supply X number of green policies , do they stop or just keep conning people . I actually had to get her in charge to change the policy back to normal after she explained she took a green policy out .
Along with , we now have to pay a “green” levy on energy , the they have the cheek to ask if I want to pay extra to offset my carbon footprint … talk about double take …
Agree completely.If we had all nuclear power like France we wouldn't be in this mess. I would even welcome electric cars.
Nobody ever considered energy security when they allowed us to become so reliant on gas

Not sure: in Scotland we produce almost 100% of our electricity from renewables and the surplus goes to the UK grid - we will be hit by the same price hikesIf we had all nuclear power like France we wouldn't be in this mess. I would even welcome electric cars.

97.4% of electricity used in 2020 was renewable https://www.gov.scot/binaries/conte...cument/Scotland+Energy+Statistics+Q4+2020.pdfNot when the wind doesn't blow you don't

But it's only £1:15.9 per litre

True, but how much in 2021? We know for a fact Scotland went several months without a scrap of wind.

I have started a new role, due to a lot of things being at stage 3 I can't talk about most of what im working on.
However one project is public knowledge, a 50MW battery, the first stage of 600MW of grid storage. This is just the start as well
I agree a base of nuclear generation would shield us from gas price rises etc but there are far, far bigger things that need to be considered first, such as the clean up at the end of its life

I always remember the Not The Nine O'clock News spoof. "Do your children glow in the dark?"

I think we all know that a few politicians and policy makers get very rich to award these contracts abroad, with foreign, party donors greasing the wheels. I'm not btw picking on any particular party.
You sell off your national assets and keep the population sweet with a few shares (that later devalue).

We've all seen the pics of the thousands of tons of non biodegradable 'clean and green' junk being buried, as a gift for our decendents.....

It's all smoke and mirrors.
Yes perhaps if you look at total output. Then divide it spread over a year.
In reality we can get several weeks at a time with barely any wind. Then Scotland would have been running off nuclear and mainly gas.

It's not that bad,wave, tidal and hydro make up about a 1/3 of Scotland s power generation.
