In this episode, the team breaks down a turbulent few weeks for clean energy development. From Orsted pulling the plug on supply chain contracts for Hornsea 4, to Statkraft’s suspension of new green hydrogen developments. Yet Spain bucks the trend, doubling down with ambitious targets. We assess whether that ambition can turn into delivery.

We also take a deep dive into the UK’s energy market reform. Zonal pricing remains one of REMA’s most contentious proposals. We explore lessons from Sweden and Norway, the industrial stakes, and what the transition could mean for the grid, consumers, and developers alike.

Also in the episode, updates on the Clean Industry Bonus and offshore wind support, a £1.35bn grid investment from Scottish Power, and a look at the UK’s steel crisis and the path to green steel.
