Gas-intensive industries in the UK have been shamefully ignored by the Government in this announcement, it's a total disgrace. Workers in manufacturing companies across the UK need urgent help; this isn't it.

Ammonia emissions are dangerous to human health and the environment. In the UK, agriculture is responsible for 89% of national emissions of the nitrogen-based gas used to produce fertilisers and released from livestock manure.

The EU's renewed focus on expanding nuclear energy is a strategically sound response to the region's long-term energy security and climate goals. Nuclear remains unique in providing clean, secure and scalable electricity.

Sellafield Limited has awarded a £33 million contract to SAP for the 'Core HR SaaS Licensing to include Recruitment Module' as the first step in its ERP migration project. This contract is part of a larger plan to transition from the legacy SAP BS7 system to the currently supported SAP S/4HANA system.

Octopus Energy reported that its heat pump orders more than doubled in March compared to February, while sales of solar power systems increased by almost 80%. This trend reflects a growing consumer shift towards renewable energy solutions.

The irony is that the plant was shut because of a deal with Trump and now it's reopening because of Trump's war in Iran.

Environmental campaign group Foxglove stated that the NSIP designation allows the project to sidestep local planning and democracy, raising concerns about its potential carbon emissions.

OEUK highlighted that natural gas extracted from the North Sea has a significantly lower emissions footprint compared to imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), which often involves more environmentally taxing transportation and processing methods.

Over five days in December 2025, more than 200 real-time simulated "grid events" were sent to the site to test the Emerald software's ability to dynamically adjust the datacentre's power consumption. Emerald AI's platform was able to adjust power use to the requested level and cut demand by up to 40% while critical workloads ran as normal.

Our study suggests that living near a [nuclear power plant] may carry a measurable cancer risk - one that lessens with distance. We recommend that more studies be done that address the issue of NPPs and health impacts, particularly at a time when nuclear power is being promoted as a clean solution to climate change.

About 140 datacenters are in the queue to be connected to Britain's power grid, and their combined energy requirements are estimated to be more than the current peak electricity use for the entire country. It identified about 140 facilities, the majority of which are likely to receive a Gate 2 offer, which is a 'ready-to-connect' agreement, and these add up to a total of 50 GW of demand for electricity.

A portion of the land dubbed the UK's worst illegal waste dump is owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, the King's extensive private portfolio of properties and estates. The waste site in Bickershaw, Wigan, is part of the UK's mounting crisis of illegal dumping. But the Duchy has said due to an ancient feudal legal framework from more than 700 years ago, it is in effect exempt from cleaning up the site, according to an investigation by Channel 4 News.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) will create a "pipeline" of projects meeting readiness criteria, offering a "concierge-style" service to help the developers navigate UK planning, regulations, and secure private investment. DESNZ says emerging nuclear technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs) can be prefabricated in factories, enabling faster, cheaper assembly using skilled jobs across multiple regions. These reactors can provide clean energy to the grid or directly to industrial users, it claims.

The DOE issued a Request for Information (RFI) on Wednesday, seeking responses from states that may be interested in hosting the campuses, which will operate a "full‑cycle nuclear ecosystem." In practice, this means these sites will be expected to provide facilities for atomic waste reprocessing and disposal, in addition to fuel fabrication and enrichment. They may also serve as locations for nuclear reactors and co‑located datacenters powered by them.
