Where is Britain's power really coming from right now?  The answer to this in 2025 tells a story of amazing progress. We are living through a fundamental shift in our energy landscape. I thought it would be helpful to share a simple snapshot of what this looks like on our grid today. More importantly, I want to explore what it means for us, the people building our green energy future. So, let's pull back the curtain and look at what’s actually powering our lives this year.

For those of you who might not be fully up to speed, this "drill mandate" essentially aims to promote oil and gas drilling within the US and beyond. This isn't just about extracting more fossil fuels; it’s about potentially redirecting federal funding and attention away from renewable energy initiatives. And what that looks like for many projects is a slowdown in approvals and development on federal lands. A blow to our passion!
