A weekend of energy abundance

Well that was a blashy weekend, with pretty solid wind speeds all the way through to Tuesday morning. Scotland's grids sat mostly at zero emissions with the occasional 2gm/kWh blip in the South. South Scotland broke its zero emissions record again and Octopus Energy had free electricity sessions on Sunday and Monday afternoon. Whether you're motivated by zero cost or zero emissions electricity, this was a great weekend. As I'm fond of saying, 'Why not both?'
