[BOLTON 21/06/2023] Since Britain's electricity grid is facing a backlog of more than a decade, with projects such as wind farms, solar arrays, and battery projects being stalled, viable solutions must be implemented to fit the demand for green energy. Waiting until 2037 is simply not an option. The government's neglect and "lack of vision" have resulted in a lack of modernisation, leaving Britain's energy network in disrepair.

While some steps have been taken to modernise the grid, such as investing in smart grids and distributed energy resources, these projects have not gone far enough. Smaller initiatives must be taken to tackle Britain's green energy crisis. From homeowners and business owners collaborating on energy efficiency measures to the usage of newer smart technologies, numerous viable solutions could help Britain reach its goal of having a reliable, low-carbon electricity grid by the end of 2023.

Home adjustments

Homeowners can make a difference in Britain's green energy dream by investing in renewable energy sources such as solar panels, wind turbines, or battery storage systems. Additionally, they can also improve their energy efficiency with the help of smart technology. Making necessary repairs is also essential, as dysfunctional appliances like boilers can lead to excess energy consumption. Companies like Hollowell Heating help residents make the changes quickly and efficiently.

Business-led initiatives

Business owners must also take responsibility for their energy usage and explore ways to reduce their carbon footprint. They can take advantage of government grants and incentives, invest in renewable energy sources, such as solar power, and better manage power usage with the help of smart technologies. Even if businesses cannot invest in renewable sources, they can still use energy optimisation techniques, such as switching off equipment when not in use and increasing their energy efficiency.

Smart grid technologies

When modernising Britain's energy grid, the government should consider implementing smart grid technologies. Smart grids can detect and adjust electricity supply as demand changes, helping to reduce energy waste. As more and more businesses move towards renewable energy sources, developing smart grids will be crucial in allowing Britain to realise its green energy dream fully.
