Electrifying everything with renewable technologies like solar PV, wind turbines and battery energy storage is a 'holy grail' that energy transition naysayers tell us is an impossible dream.

In 2024 they received the seal of approval and a multi-million pound cash injection from Britain's largest electricity provider. We talk directly to the Chief Executives of both companies.
