Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent events in the Middle East. We hope you and your loved ones are safe, and that a swift and peaceful resolution follows soon. In the near term, situations like these create uncertainty across global energy markets, but over the longer term they highlight something much more strategic: the growing importance of clean energy and the need to reduce reliance on external fossil‑fuel sources. Each disruption serves as a reminder o

As we are now firmly into 2026, we take time to reflect on the key challenges leaders are likely to face: Culture The ‘why’ still remains central to culture. To get the best from employees and other stakeholders (investors, suppliers and customers), communicating why the business exists, its purpose and what it is trying to achieve remains vital.

Market Snapshot In 2025, renewable sources continued the trend in recent ye

While many of us are unwrapping gifts, there is another kind of present worth considering: the gift of high-value skills. The green energy transition is moving at an incredible pace. The most successful professionals I see are those who consistently invest in their own learning and development.

Nights, Sky-High Bills? Inside the UK’s Winter Energy Surge What if a single cold snap could send our energy demand soaring, and our bills right along with it? That is the reality we are facing with UK winters. By understanding these energy surges, we can navigate them wisely and keep our green goals on track. Today, I want to explore what drives these spikes and how we, as households, businesses, and an industry, can power through the colder months while keeping sustainabili

Where is Britain's power really coming from right now?  The answer to this in 2025 tells a story of amazing progress. We are living through a fundamental shift in our energy landscape. I thought it would be helpful to share a simple snapshot of what this looks like on our grid today. More importantly, I want to explore what it means for us, the people building our green energy future. So, let's pull back the curtain and look at what’s actually powering our lives this year.

The sheer scale of our industry's momentum is staggering. According to BloombergNEF, global investment in the energy transition soared to $2.1 trillion in 2024, with renewables, electrified transport, and grid upgrades leading the charge. But capital on its own does not build a wind farm or modernise a grid. That level of investment only translates into real-world outcomes when it is guided by skilled, passionate professionals. This is why purpose driven hiring has become a
