This week we break down bp's strategic pivot away from renewables, as the energy major scales back green investments in favour of oil and gas. What does this mean for the energy transition and the wider renewables market?
We examine the UK's evolving Contracts for Difference scheme, ahead of the launch of Allocation Round 7. We also take a closer look at the new Clean Industry Bonus—designed to boost UK manufacturing—and whether it provides real value for offshore wind developers or just adds more complexity.
Plus, major deals in the energy sector, including Brookfield's acquisition of National Grid's US renewables platform, Greenscale's new data centre development in Northern Ireland, and a deep dive into London's ambitious £1 billion district heating project that could transform Westminster's energy infrastructure.
