In this episode we sit down with Andrew Crossland, Director of New Energy at SolarZero, to explore a fascinating initiative that sheds light on Britain's electricity landscape. Join us as we delve into the world of MyGrid GB, a British Electricity Tracker on Twitter with the handle @myGridGB.

MyGrid GB doesn't just share data; it tells a story. We dive into how this innovative platform provides real-time information on the sources of Britain's electricity and its carbon impact. Discover how MyGrid GB empowers you to understand the origins of the energy powering your life and the critical progress being made in transitioning away from fossil fuels.

With the United Kingdom heavily reliant on gas, we also tackle the pressing issue of energy prices. Andrew shares insights into how global factors impact these prices and why diversifying our energy sources is crucial for stability. We touch on the imperative of making renewable technology accessible to all homeowners and outlines a straightforward path toward reducing energy bills.
