🐴 They’ve Put the Cart Before the Horse — and an Elephant in the Cart 🐘

That elephant? 🐘
The national grid is full.

🚨 The Reality No One Wants to Talk About:

⚡ The grid is overloaded.
In region after region, connection queues are years long — or closed altogether.

🛠️ DNOs (Distribution Network Operators) are overwhelmed.
Reinforcements are delayed, underfunded, or stuck in red tape until the mid-2030s and beyond.

🧟 We’re stacking up zombie projects.
New solar farms, wind projects, and battery storage schemes are being approved —
with nowhere to plug in.

🧯 What Good Are Targets Without Delivery?

While ministers grab headlines with Net Zero announcements, they’re ignoring the wires, substations, and transformers needed to actually make clean power usable.

There’s:

❌ No sequencing

❌ No coordination

❌ No serious infrastructure plan


Just targets piled on promises, disconnected from engineering and reality.

📉 It’s Fantasy Planning. And It’s Already Failing.

Every day we delay grid reform, we waste public money, overpromise capacity, and stall real delivery.

The result?

🔌 Curtailment (projects switched off to protect the grid)

💸 Cost inflation passed onto consumers

🧱 Backlogs that now stretch beyond 2035 in parts of the UK

✅ The Bottom Line:

You wouldn’t build a house with no foundation.
You wouldn’t ride a cart with no horse.
And you shouldn’t promise power you can’t connect.

Want clean power? Fix the grid first.
Because right now, we’re not powering the future —
we’re dragging the past behind us.
