Facing the unique challenges of UK wind energy

The UK government has set an ambitious but necessary target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Key to this goal is the rapid growth of operational, large-scale, renewable energy projects. But, for both onshore and offshore wind, key obstacles remain for developers in the UK, as Jenny Hazzard, Head of Environmental Planning, and Emanuele Stella, Head of Offshore Renewables at IPTEnergised, explain.

What’s needed for European heat pump progress?

Although the UK is lagging behind, overall, the European heat pump sector is poised to move the continent away from dependence on fossil fuels for heating. However, to meet climate targets, an acceleration programme is needed to double the number of installed pumps each year, writes Jozefien Vanbecelaere, Head of EU Affairs at the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA).

Poland’s coal endures but sun shines on alternatives

Coal has powered Poland since the Communist era, a symbol of economic self-sufficiency and national pride. Coal once employed 400,000 workers across 70 mines; today, only 19 pits remain, employing 75,000 people, but they still produce around 60mn t/y. By contrast, nearly 200,000 people work in renewables – a number forecast to reach 300,000 by 2030. Jo Harper reports from Warsaw.

Weeding out the duds: what’s driving growth of long-duration energy storage in the UK

A big breakthrough or just another small forward step? One key part of the UK government’s drive to hit net zero targets is by boosting national energy storage to help smooth out gaps between supply of intermittent renewables and variation in electricity demand. In spring 2025, energy regulator Ofgem announced plans to incentivise the best schemes while weeding out the no-hopers. The industry is still digesting how this might work out to everyone’s benefit, reports Andrew Mourant.

IEA proposes 10-point plan to cut oil use

With sanctions on Russia, following its invasion of Ukraine, resulting in lower supplies to oil markets ahead of the peak demand season, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has published a 10-point plan of emergency measures that it says could quickly cut global oil demand by 2.7mn b/d, reducing the risk of a damaging supply crunch.
