Heat 2016
Heat accounts for almost one half of UK energy costs and the cost of heat continues to rise. Britain faces an urgent challenge in transforming how homes, offices and industry are heated; in its recent report Next Steps for UK Heat Policy, the Committee on Climate Change put it simply: “deployment of low carbon heat cannot wait until the 2030s”.
Green fuels needed for long-term energy storage
Batteries, demand-side response (DSR) and interconnectors all have major limitations which mean they will unable to provide sufficient flexibility to balance the energy system by themselves, an expert from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) has warned.

Green gasses will help solve the energy trilemma
King Canute could not turn back the tides; he acknowledged his powers were limited. Similarly, UK politicians must recognise that our geographic location, climate and weather patterns are major determinants of future energy policy and that they can try but will fail to alter them.

Great Scott! 1.21 gigawatts!
“Great Scott! 1.21 gigawatts! 1.21 gigawatts!” Although these are the words of Doctor Emmett Brown from the Back to the Future trilogy, here at NIE Networks we are proclaiming a similar message. The Doc had to harness a lightning strike to provide this power, but a more feasible approach has been developed to supply the customers of Northern Ireland: distributed generation (DG).
