This is climate change & we are only just approaching warming levels where it starts to bite. That’s why sensible people want to restrict warming as much as possible.

5-7 days of 40C + in France kills vulnerable people, farm animals, wildlife, crops and raises wildfire risk.

So we can assume when the accounts are released there will be no large profit for the CCGTs.

@clapperspaul Indeed. The gas generators, forced to run to a fraction of their uptime, have to recover their capex and opex when they are allowed to run. Were you expecting a different outcome from a dual energy system design?

According to many people on X India is now heading for bankruptcy not energy independence.

By installing solar is going to make coal & gas more expensive 🤷‍♂️

It apparently also doesn’t care about climate change & is just doing this for a laugh.

Yep that’s their argument 🤪

India is charging towards 500GW of renewables by 2030 and will likely meet that target. 100GW of solar to be for self-consumption.

For those who doubt batteries can’t make a significant dent in gas use the batteries deployed so far in 2026 can shift 34% of new solar generation to evening peaks.

Batteries in GB have only just got started but will provide significant competitive pressure to CCGTs as peakers.

The batteries deployed in 2026 is sufficient to shift 34% of new solar generation across the day.

Battery storage costs have plummeted and deployment is scaling faster than ever, so putting it at the centre of #COP31 negotiations is imperative 🔋

People say that CCGTs need to charge more because they are used more sparingly.

Yet in 2022 they made an extra £4.2 billion in PROFIT.

It’s fossil lobbyists lies. They are raking it in again right now with their crazy prices & the market needs reform to rein them in.
