Energy Hacks, Tips & Information

Technological advancements have streamlined every aspect of life and are influencing every sector. The energy market is no exception and is equally benefiting from this evolution. Advanced data analytics are a cornerstone of energy efficiency and sustainability, enabling businesses to forecast their energy consumption and demands. The adoption a nd implementation of advanced tools and methods like machine learning, artificial intelligence, and predictive modelling has witnessed a widespread adoption in the UK energy market. The growing complexity and energy market dynamics constitute the basis for the large-scale implementation.  How Energy Forecasting Can Pay Off?  Energy is a major ongoing expense for all kinds of businesses. These costs quickly add up and can be overwhelming if energy consumption is not managed well. Fluctuating energy market dynamics and rising energy costs can impose severe financial considerations on businesses, impacting their bottom line. Along with bu...

Nuclear energy is once again back on centre stage, in the debates on global energy. Experts cite its pivotal place in a balanced, low-carbon energy future. During the Environment Analyst’s most recent global summit, panellists suggested growing confidence in the long-term future of nuclear in meeting global power needs. Nuclear currently contributes 10% of global electricity, the second largest non-emissions source after hydropower, according to the International Energy Agency. The IEA advocated doubling capacity for nuclear energy by 2050 in pursuit of decarbonisation targets. Major economies are reflecting that shift. Germany recently reversed its opposition to EU nuclear growth. The US witnessed an executive order calling for an acceleration of next-generation nuke tech, and the UK has invested in excess of £14 billion in the Sizewell C plant, set to operation in the 2030s. Despite such momentum, financial problems might be persistent issue. High initial costs for nuclear necessi...

The UK is witnessing a steady and promising rise in electric vehicles and domestic heat pumps.  Drivers and households are increasingly aware of the climate challenges, and clean technologies are becoming more reliable and price-competitive, so that more families and drivers are making the switch. Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer futuristic but are now fast becoming an everyday option. As more models come out with expanding ranges and upgraded charging infrastructure, an increasing number of drivers are switching to EVs. The change is also being spurred by the government’s commitment to end the sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) sees signs of progress, including a near doubling of the number of electric cars on UK roads in the past two years. Nearly one in five new cars sold in 2024 were electric. At the same time, heat pumps are also becoming increasingly popular as a source of warmth among the population. By extracting warmth f...
