South-eastern Europe faces heatwave energy crunch as Romania detonates Danube rock to increase water flow – Europe liveExplosives used to move a large rock and let more water flow to cool nuclear power plantwww.theguardian.com

It's a fully 3D environment, meaning you can rotate it and move around as much as you want. The terrain is generated fully within Blender, meaning I have full control over its exaggeration, styling, and all sorts of fun things I won't spoil just yet 👀 More soon…

Project Hail Mary and The Girl With All The Gifts were the other standouts so far this year

Highlights have been the Bobiverse series as well as the Dungeon Crawler Carl series 🚀💣 Both of which have real pretty hardbacks.

Yeah I'm curious to see if 250m actually gets through to the end of the planning process, I can't see that not being a sticking point.

Yeah the logistics will be interesting to see, hoping the plans later this week will shed more light on the specifics. Arguably this situation feels more like replacement than re-powering, though will still be an fascinating case study if they find a way to pull it off.

Fair! I'm thinking more from a technology perspective but cost should absolutely be weighed as part of it.

I'm starting to think that for some people this isn't just about lowering the price of electricity… 🤔

It has the same vibe as speaking loudly in your own language when you're in another country Just because you shouted it doesn't make it more understandable 🤷‍♂️

*excess output

What's interesting to me is that we had a lot of curtailment in England around the same time we had the emergency interconnector imports. Esp. in the South East. Not sure what that means, if anything, but certainly stood out to me that there was excess demand at times. It was all a bit chaotic.

Well now you've got me wanting to find data on electricity consumption at pumping stations…

Full time is probably everyone putting the hob/oven/microwave/air-frier on for dinner

Interesting! Wonder if that's anything to do with improvements in energy efficiency of devices, or something else

I also recently write a post on the Octopus blog that lifts the curtain on the type of projects the team works on and how we deliver them. If you're someone who loves to learn and thrives when challenged then this is the perfect role for you. octopus.energy/blog/making-...

A tech project to silence heat pump haters? I love this shitHow do you silence heat pump haters? With hard data. See how the Octopus Energy team built a live, real-time heat pump dashboard in under two weeksoctopus.energy

Can you pull a compelling narrative out of raw data and pick the right way to tell it? If so, please consider applying. jobs.lever.co/octoenergy/b...

On the visualisation side we mostly live in React and Next.js, Mapbox and WebGL, with Blender for 3D and animation. But we reach for whatever the job needs, so you'll be picking up new things regularly.
