As part of the UK’s goal to reach net zero by 2050 and eliminate the production of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035, a large solution for the adoption of electric vehicles is fundamental.

One of the faster moving areas of the renewable energy sector is Hydrogen. We recently took a look at how Wales may become a leader in Europe for clean Hydrogen production, alongside a larger scale test planned in the UK to explore the viability of using clean Hydrogen as an alternative to natural gas.

We recently covered a piece on our blog, outlining five reasons why you should change your energy provider. These included aspects such as the potential savings achieved through change, staying up to date on the market, and ensuring you’re getting the best deal.

The start of the year had a very strong showing for UK renewables. We had recently reported that the first quarter saw nearly half of the UK’s energy needs covered by renewable sources, but the trend did not stop there.

Monday marked the end of an era as after 200 years, one of England’s last coal mines is closing.

One of the bigger challenges for clean and renewable energy has always been in cost. More often than not, the high cost has far outweighed the benefits of change, but this is something that is changing extremely quickly.

The start of the year has sustained a tough time for domestic renewables, as the solar industry in particular had been hit hard

Here at Utility Trade, we’re committed to helping you find the best possible energy deals on the market.

The start of the year had a significant impact in moving our goals for net zero forward – so much so, that we covered a piece looking at how global emissions were expected to fall during the pandemic.

Hydrogen as a renewable energy source is quickly growing in popularity, as more efficient and cheaper methods of production are being discovered.

We understand that a shift to clean energy alternatives may be somewhat difficult, as costs can often remain high and the installation can take time. Furthermore, the industry is constantly evolving, but there may be some good news on the horizon – we’ve recently covered the announced package to improve energy efficiency in our homes.

Utility Trade Group are big advocates of the use of solar energy, given our own solar PV solutions, as well as our recent article on how a very bright summer has led to a huge boon for solar energy. Two recent breakthroughs in solar technology could vastly change the effectiveness of this type of energy and create a powerhouse in renewable energy sources.

Having to temporarily close your business during the Covid-19 pandemic, or indeed having started trading again, could both have a significant impact on your energy bills. In a recent post we covered the true cost of not using the right energy provider and how many homeowners are overcharged for energy use at home.

We recently took a look at the plan announced by Rishi Sunak to support homeowners in their bid to help the UK reach its goal of net zero – but a renewed focus on upgrading homes to become more energy efficient may not be the only answer for homeowners looking to save money. A recent report suggests that over £8.9 billion is wasted per year by not switching energy provider.

The plan to provide vouchers to ensure energy efficiency in British homes has been very well received, but it was only a small part of the environmentally friendly approach to economic recovery that Rishi Sunak announced.

Ofgem recently unveiled their £25 billion green investment plan, set to roll out over the next five years, in a bid to prepare Britain’s energy infrastructure for a low-carbon future.

Recently we covered a piece focused around green hydrogen production and how Wales may be on track to leading the push for this energy source.

Here at Utility Trade Group, we’re always invested in discovering new clean energy options and have recently covered why flexible energy systems are so important in ensuring the UK reaches its net zero goal by 2050.

t was recently announced that the UK would launch a scheme to encourage homeowners to make changes for greater energy efficiency.
