Ofgem has granted Tesla an electricity supply licence, allowing the company to provide power to domestic households and commercial premises across Great Britain. The authorisation allows Tesla to operate as an electricity supplier alongside existing energy companies.

At a site near Redruth called United Downs, in Cornwall, a company called Geothermal Engineering Ltd has started producing geothermal electricity. To generate power (electricity), this project is using two of the deepest wells ever drilled in the UK—down to three miles beneath the surface. A considerable feat of engineering.

With the switching on of the geothermal power plant in United Downs, the UK now has its first operation geothermal power plant and geothermal lithium facility.
