At a time when significant investment is needed to deliver the UK Government’s clean power mission, today’s decision not to move forward with zonal pricing is important: it reduces uncertainty and risk for developers ahead of the next renewables auction, making it possible to invest at a lower cost for consumers. As one of the UK’s largest developers and power generators, this is especially important for us. In the UK and all of our markets we share a common objective: shaping and rebuilding the energy system as cost-efficiently as possible. Reforming the national market, including grid charges, to ensure there are clear, enduring signals for generation to be located in the right place can deliver the desired efficiencies, with minimal disruption during this period of significant investment and change.    We look forward to constructively supporting the UK Government’s reform of the national market.

💡 Is your current PPA strategy built to weather today’s volatile energy market? With negative electricity prices becoming more frequent in the UK, energy generators are facing new challenges in protecting their revenue. But what’s behind this trend—and how can you stay ahead? Here’s what you need to know: ➡️ Surplus Supply Meets Low Demand – High renewable output during off-peak times is pushing negative prices. 🔗 Inflexible Generation Adds Pressure – Traditional plants can’t always adapt quickly, worsening oversupply. 💡 Smart PPA Strategies Matter – Flexible PPAs like our Standard Baseload PPA help you hedge wisely and avoid negative price exposure. 👉 Read the full blog by Daniel G. and explore how our UK PPA Team can help you optimise your revenue:https://lnkd.in/e37APZH4 #EnergyTransition #TotalEnergies #RevenueOptimisation

⚡Powering thousands of homes using solar!🌞 🔌 A major new solar site in Devon owned by renewable energy company RWE is now operational after being connected to the grid by National Grid Electricity Distribution. 🏡 The 35MW Langford Solar Farm near Cullompton expects to generate around 49,500 megawatt hours of electricity every year - enough to meet the annual needs of approximately 15,000 typical UK homes. ⚒️ NGED carried out significant engineering work so the solar park could connect to its high voltage 132kV network. Jason Baker, our head of major projects South West said: “This is an important project and its successful delivery is testament to all involved demonstrating a clear commitment to delivering secure, affordable, and clean energy to our customers and communities. Enabling renewable energy generation schemes like this is vital to support the UK energy transition.” #SolarPower #NationalGridElectricityDistribution

At Uskmouth in South Wales, a former coal power station is being reimagined as one of the UK’s largest battery storage projects. In partnership with Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, we’re investing in flexible energy solutions that can: ⚡ Balance supply and demand across the grid ⚡ Support renewable generation ⚡ Help manage energy costs for customers Two mega-scale batteries — each able to store 230 megawatt-hours — are already taking shape on site. Uskmouth isn’t just about building new infrastructure. It’s about transforming the energy system and proving that old power stations can power a cleaner, smarter future. 🌍 Read more: https://gloo.to/F7oD.
