John Behan, CEO of AMPYR Distributed Energy (ADE) said: “We are talking to businesses every day who can see the advantages of solar to drive down energy costs, increase supply security and deliver measurable decarbonisation progress. Distributed energy aligns with the need for investment in the UK’s property infrastructure, including energy efficiency, carbon reporting, and enabling decentralised energy solutions with clear market reform. This is key to enabling solar, at scale, for everyone and accelerating progress towards the UK’s net zero energy landscape of tomorrow. Behan concluded: “The UK needs to push the day-to-day of distributed energy firmly up the agenda. Once the dust settles, I’d like to see a step-change in enthusiasm, ambition and commitment when it comes to renewable energy.

AEMO also points to the risks arising from a lack of a social licence and supply chain and adequate skills workforce risks. It also recently issued a risk/threat notice for the east coast gas system. AEMO’s ISP modelling applied weather patterns from 2010-11 to 2019-20 to analyse the future operability of the power system. The chart covers a ten-day period with the first two days showing high levels of wind generation. The reliability analysis in the outer years of the ISP raises questions around how the energy system would cope with renewable droughts.

Voters went to the polls in Britain on Thursday in a dyspeptic mood, many of them frustrated with the Conservative government and skeptical that any replacement can unravel the tangle of problems hobbling the country. Their skepticism is warranted, according to analysts. Even if the Labour Party wins a robust majority in Parliament, as polls suggest, it will confront a raft of challenges, from a torpid economy to a corroded National Health Service, without having many tools to fix them. The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, would inherit a “legacy of ashes,” said Robert Ford, a professor of political science at the University of Manchester. And voters, who less than five years ago elected the Conservatives in a landslide, are not likely to give Mr. Starmer much slack to turn things around.

Trump’s margin increased among both likely and registered voters by three points since the debate; he now leads registered voters 49% to 41%. The Times poll isn’t the only bad news for the president’s campaign since the debate, during which he appeared confused at times and struggled to answer questions clearly.

Jul 04, 2024 12:40:00EU considers scrapping duty-free quota to impose import tariffs on Chinese SHEIN, Temu, and AliExpressIt has become clear that the European Union (EU) is considering abolishing the existing standard of 'exemption from tariffs on imports below 150 euros (26,000 yen)' in order to impose tariffs on products of Chinese petit pla brands SHEIN and Temu. The '€150 threshold for exemptions from import duties' essentially only applies to online retailers that ship products directly to customers from outside the EU. Since 2021, parcels sent to EU consumers have paid VAT regardless of the amount, but there are also exemptions from tax. However, abolishing the duty-free quotas would increase the workload of already overworked customs officials, so 'it will be difficult to get EU countries to agree,' another source said. SHEIN also commented that it 'fully supports' the abolition of the tax exemption.

[10] Yet, since Sudan became independent in 1956, the North-South conflict has seemed to dominate Sudanese politics. The North-South conflict was the impetus after all for Sudan's first (1955 to 1972) and second civil wars (1983 to 2005). All of these actors have been actively sponsoring different factions in the Sudanese conflict.

From the moment six weeks ago that Rishi Sunak announced the election in pouring rain outside 10 Downing Street, his campaign has faced a series of setbacks, from the backlash triggered by his early return from a D-day commemoration, to a betting scandal in which a Conservative politician was discovered to have bet on the date of the election. The Guardian's political media editor, Jim Waterson, explains how the party's campaign fell apart and whether it stood a chance to begin with

The ninth Biennale Gherdëina takes its title from a Ladin myth that is, in part, a cautionary tale. It narrates the series of tragedies that follows when the Fanes—the indigenous people of the Dolomites—betray a pact with their animal allies, the marmots. All their works are made collectively, feature animals as their primary subjects, and build on any mistakes, instead of erasing them. It’s a projection into a future that is unpredictable but laden with hope, stressing interdependence as a means of survival. Ortisei is surrounded by forests, so it feels natural for wood to form both material and motif in several works commissioned for the biennial.

"But, by dragging his party back to the centre ground of British politics for the first time since Tony Blair was in No10, Sir Keir has won the right to take charge."
