Clearly heat is a major issue when U.K. domestic heat consumption alone is ~300 billion kWh per year. The priority must surely be to reduce energy demand through a national domestic retrofit programme. This could cut overall electricity demand for heat by ~200 billion kWh per year. Indeed, government endorsed national retrofit standards already exist, together with a fledgling industry of retrofit professionals. This is currently focused on improving the energy efficiency of social housing because successive governments have failed to adequately incentivise the UK’s 27 million private home owners and landlords to adopt a ‘fabric first’ approach to home energy efficiency.
UK has a problem in that the majority of homes are "poor" in terms of energy efficiency, there are some grants available but these are very narrow in their availability with "small" take up. mad push for solar and wind power but this does not balance the usage side of the distribution flow. How about providing every home in Britain with batteries to store power at low usage times with it being used by the house at normally peak demand times. Use more of the excess production and reduce required productions at peak times. Role out the scheme based on energy standard for homes so not big bang approach.
An 'evolutionary' approach to projects is not literally 'evolutionary' as in the origin of species. It really means that there is incremental delivery that is valued by at least some stakeholders combined with willingness to rethink later increments based on what is learned and changing circumstances. This approach manages risk much better than single, radical changes, which is why it should be preferred and often leads to completion faster than attempting a single but scary radical change.
I dont want "active demand" where ai get robned if I turn the heat on during the day. I want cheap electricity available 24/7. We used to have that when the country ran on coal.
Localise the majority customers rooftops PV and V2G BVs in one area first, and then the next area. Early adopters first, wealthy high spenders first on high taxes. Unfortunately $kWh will increase as less customer's cashflow must supply more cash per gross kWh
Rondo Heat Battery is better than hotwater, 100⁰C vs 1,500⁰C 5 times more heat m³. 1,500⁰ C is industrial heat temperatures. Dirt cheap heat storage. 100years lifetime performance. Heat pump will be seen as expensive machines heating water. Rooftop PV in Australia is cheaper than windows $/m³.
Excellent show. Very straightforward analysis of what the problems are, but even better at articulating what the best solutions are

Then install one at your house.
