𝗜𝗻 𝗷𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀: In May 2022, we proudly unveiled a groundbreaking partnership in the Angolan oil sector: the Wellbore Clean Out Alliance between KAESO Energy Services and 𝗧𝗨𝗕𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦. As we stand today, this alliance is a testament to local expertise and capability, being the sole 100% local content consortium delivering Well Bore Clean Out Services to major operators with 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀. This robust collaboration marries the strengths of both partners, with 𝗞𝗔𝗘𝗦𝗢 leading the charge not only in providing skilled personnel and maintenance but also in supplying top-tier equipment. 𝗧𝗨𝗕𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦 complements this with their own advanced equipment solutions. This Alliance underscores two pivotal truths: the power of strategic partnerships in expanding operational horizons, and the remarkable potential of 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 to independently provide essential services at the very core of 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀. Our Alliance is more than a service; 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆. Check out our 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 at https://lnkd.in/dRTgjyxb

Really important comment: „Our strategy from #IOC to #IEC does not change.“ I can confirm that from a working level perspective and remain highly motivated to commercialize hydrogen solutions in 2024 and beyond. I wish you every #success Murray in your new role 🙌🏽 💚💛

The RESP could make a big difference to the way we plan renewable energy developments. My current project is heavily aligned with the implications of the RESP, and it's providing an excellent opportunity for me to further understand the planning process for renewables and the need for work like this to be done right. My colleagues at Regen have put together a fantastic response to the Ofgem consultation. Definitely worth a read for those interested in the role that planning reform has in achieving our net zero goals. #cleanpower2030 #energysystem #energyplanning

Share price languishing. Some investors twitchy about strategy and demanding easing off on green targets. Climate change lobby expressing disappointment in rowing back and demanding more aggressive targets. Takeover rumours circulating in the press. And your predecessor leaving under a cloud after an apparent display of poor integrity. Wow! That’s a lot on your plate from day 1, Murray Auchincloss. How about a simple fix to create a bit of breathing room. Engage with #bppensioners now, give us a display of how you honour the #codeofconduct , and respect and honour the former employees who built the company you now lead. We don’t want to see its reputation trashed or its history just sucked into a competitor. It is in your gift to restore pension values, which will be 17% down by May ‘24, if you continue to fail to keep the promises made. You can make the #bppensionscandal go away now. That would be 60,000 advocates for #bp on side. Be brave. Be seen to do the right thing. Grasp the opportunity.

Many of us in the Regen camp have been closely engaged with the development of the premise and process of Regional Energy Strategic Plans (and the regional bodies that will be set up to produce them). We have submitted not one, but two responses to Ofgem's consultation around the policy framework for RESPs - we think its that important! Within this are a number of specific recommendations we think are vital to getting the aims, methods and coordination of RESPs right, but we also recognise much of the detailed design is still to come... Three key takeaways from our responses are: 🔎 RESPs should prioritise bottom-up evidence over top-down disaggregation of national pathways. 🔎 NESO should build on and add value to, rather than duplicate, existing engagement and network forecasting processes that have been extensively developed. 🔎 A key function of RESPs should be to ensure that the energy system is net zero-ready.

📢Calling all #Caerphilly based businesses 📢 The Crown Estate application window is open for an initial £10 million first round of funding that will be specifically aimed at UK projects that could support floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea. The application process will close on 30 July 2024. Successful projects will be announced from October 2024 following assessment of applications, negotiation of funding and commitment agreements and necessary approvals. The accelerator will provide matched funding of up to £1m per project to UK supply chain projects to help them undertake the early-stage development works necessary to get them “investment-ready”. A further £40 million has been earmarked that could potentially be deployed to support UK projects that meet opportunities identified by the Industrial Growth Plan, which sets out how to triple offshore wind manufacturing capacity over the next 10 years. Make an application 👇

Some great points here from Ian - if you are an energy assessor this will be the most valuable CPD you can get, and online from the comfort of your desk. If you are not an energy assessor our free lunchtime MEES sessions are the most valuable CPD you can get…. Probably.

Evan Smith, Stephens, will lead a panel discussion on private equity and family office trends in the energy industry at the DUG Appalachia Conference. Join us as we explore the growing interest from investors in the oil and gas sector.

I think the Skills Transition piece for FLOW is the most likely to be overlooked here and I will be focusing on that intently! The opportunity I have in mind for this call centres around the 5th deepest inland body of water in the UK (>125m depth), which is right here in Wales (the 1st-4th are all Lochs in Scotland). I think there's an opportunity for a dedicated inland Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) training centre, which would benefit from: - minimised inclement weather disruption - no seafaring for access to training environment - Controlled environment with ready access for emergencies and evacuation - Existing deep water commercial diving expertise - Onsite accommodation and learning facilities - Opportunity for real world demonstration of deep anchoring/moorings systems for floating wind turbine rigs, which aren't on the seabed 60km from land. These can be accessed via ROV or deep commercial diving from the comfort of lakeside, pontoon, or rib. There are already dedicated lakeside facilities which could be tailored to the growing needs of the sector, and there is excellent provision and plans for ensuring the site runs as Net Zero through renewable energy generation via Solar, Wind, and Hydro and energy storage. So if this is of interest, and you'd like to be part of a consortium or write a letter of support in aid of this bid then please get in touch. I'm thinking of you - Marine Energy Wales Marine Energy Test Centre (METCentre) Blue Gem Wind RWE Port of Milford Haven Crossflow Energy Associated British Ports Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru / Natural Resources Wales I listened intently to Gus Jaspert of the The Crown Estate talk about this period of development for Welsh floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea, at a Swansea Bay Business Club event in Milford not so long ago. We need to build a local base of knowledge and expertise that is resilient and flexible to deliver on this ambitious industrial transition in South Wales. A partnership approach no less.
