Clean Energy accounted for all electricity growth this year. Gas/Coal were basically a wash and will be for years to come for electricity generation.
We need to ramp up batteries because they are 90% cheaper than distribution grid upgrades which is the main reason we have rate increases.

📢 Not introducing a #WealthTax on the UK's richest people in the upcoming budget will be more than just economically stupid. It will be immoral and cowardly. It will confirm that the UK just can't tax the rich. It will be an admission of total defeat, an abject capitulation to the power of money.
