Investing in the UK’s energy future 📢
Today, we’ve announced we’re acquiring the Isle of Grain LNG terminal, in partnership with ECP (Energy Capital Partners) As Europe’s largest LNG regasification facility, the terminal plays a vital role in balancing the UK’s energy system.
With capacity for 15 million tonnes of LNG a year, it helps keep energy flowing reliably and affordably across the country.
This acquisition strengthens our portfolio alongside assets like Rough and Morecambe and supports our strategy to invest in infrastructure aligned with the energy transition and our purpose of energising a greener, fairer future.

Towards net zero: Dogger Bank Wind Farm to supply 5 percent of the UK's energy demand
Partner Content by @Equinor
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a misleading headline. When completed, the Dogger Bank Wind Farm could potentially generate 5% of current UK electricity demand, not 5% of all UK energy requirements as the headline states. Electricity is a relatively small proportion of overall energy use.

My understanding is that the prime reason is to allow the OBR to take into account what insiders refer to as the “dividend” of materially lower gilt rates and interest rate expectations… which as I said yesterday, shrinks the size of the black hole they have to fill…

New: The Prime Minister and the Chancellor agreed that the fiscal event would now take place on the 17th November, and would be an Autumn Statement.
Interesting insight into the poor decisions & judgement in 2013 that left the UK's security of #Energy supply more vulnerable than it's been in decades. Had the honour of working for the team at Stag Energy & what they predicted then is now #gasstorage telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Electricity for Britain this winter is now trading at more than *£600* per megawatt-hour
For context, that's:
😱 about 12x higher than average prices for the past decade
😱 about 6x higher than the much-criticised Hinkley nuclear deal
😱 very bad news
