Allen & York’s Post

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 The Energy Crisis Commission’s latest report underscores the urgent need for the UK to accelerate its low-carbon transition. The findings reveal that the UK was the hardest hit in Europe during the recent energy crisis, largely due to its heavy reliance on gas. With nearly 30 suppliers collapsing and millions left without electricity, the impact was profound. The commission’s recommendations are clear: we must invest in clean energy technologies, improve home insulation, and modernise our grid infrastructure. This isn’t just timely—it’s essential. As we move towards net zero, these steps will not only enhance our energy security but also protect households and businesses from future crises. At Allen & York, we are committed to supporting the transition to a sustainable energy future.

The UK government has pledged nearly £22bn for projects to capture and store carbon emissions, aiming to create thousands of jobs and help meet climate goals. While some see this as a game-changing technology, others believe the investment should go towards renewable energy or home insulation. We want to hear your thoughts!

A coalition of 20 European energy associations and transmission system operators has called for reforms to the UK-EU electricity trading relationship. In an open letter, they emphasised the need for efficient mechanisms to facilitate electricity trade, which is crucial for the development of offshore wind projects in the North Seas. The current trading arrangements, established under the post-Brexit Trade and Cooperation Agreement, are deemed “unfit for the future,” potentially hindering investment opportunities. The proposed reforms aim to create a more independent, sustainable, and resilient European energy system. Enhanced cooperation and efficient market mechanisms are essential to secure mutual benefits and meet climate goals across the region. 🌍⚡ https://lnkd.in/e9C-6jhz #EnergyTrade #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #UK #EU
