Welcome to the show

Episode 1 is a short introduction to the Energy Unwrapped Podcast and the person behind it, Mick Wall from Energy Stats UK (http://energy-stats.uk). Mick shares how his renewable journey started with solar in 2018 and gradually grew to include batteries, an EV, smart hot water, and a Vaillant aroTHERM heat pump, leading to a fully electric 1930s semi in Sheffield. He explains how the Energy Stats UK website began as a way to track Octopus Energy tariff pricing through the API, before growing into a mix of real world data, guides, and deep dives into heat pumps and home energy.The episode also sets the direction for the podcast itself. After appearing on many shows as a guest, Mick wants to turn things around and start asking the questions, speaking with others about their own setups, experiences, and views on low carbon tech. This first recording is a simple introduction, a bit rough around the edges by his own admission, and an open invitation for listeners to suggest future guests and topics as the podcast finds its rhythm.
