Sustainability is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It has three pillars: social, economic, and environmental, which are interconnected. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals adopted by the UN to create a sustainable future for all. Remember, sustainability is about finding a balance that allows for long-term prosperity.

Climate change is caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels. The Paris Agreement aims to limit warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with a target of 1.5°C. Adapting to climate change involves improving infrastructure, diversifying agriculture and water management, and investing in disaster preparedness. For UKPN, extreme weather events such as storms and flooding pose a specific risk, and the company can invest in improving infrastructure resilience and early warning systems to respond quickly.

Energy systems are crucial for sustainability, but most of our energy still comes from fossil fuels. To shift to a sustainable future, we must transition to renewable sources. Electrification and heat decarbonisation are also critical components of the transition. Efficiency is vital to reducing energy consumption and waste, which is especially important as we shift to renewable energy sources that may not meet all our energy demands in the short term.

Net zero means that the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would be equal to or less than the emissions removed from the environment. The UK has been a leader in setting ambitious climate targets and implementing policies to achieve them. Technology such as energy storage, smart grids, and electric vehicles will enable the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid.

Solar PV

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels are a popular choice for on-site generation and are a rapidly growing contributor to our grid.

Wind Turbines

There have been a large increase in wind farms which is now a significant part of the UK’s energy mix.

Storage

Batteries can store energy when supply doesn’t match demand and can be stored and used later when demand is high but generation levels are low.
