Welcome to MyGridGB

The independent resource charting in real time the decarbonisation of British electricity .

Britain is transitioning to low carbon electricity. Coal power stations are being decomissioned and new low carbon power stations are taking their place.  But how much can wind turbines, solar farms, biomass and nuclear power plants reduce carbon emissions? Can Britain keep the lights on? How can Britain provide low carbon energy for electric vehicles?

MyGridGB charts all of this change. It tells you how much electricity is produced, where that electricity comes from and how much carbon is being emitted.  This is all done in real time so you can come back again and again to see how Britain is tracking against carbon targets. To find out more, you can read more about MyGridGB and my motivations for setting up the site here.

MyGridGB ran a petition for solar on all new homes in the UK

The petition didn’t work, but that’s democracy and I’m ok with it. My justification for the petition can be found here: http://www.mygridgb.co.uk/solar-petition/
