Happy Christmas to all our readers and of course the whole ELN team. As I sit waiting for my lamb to roast away, oh yes untraditional I know but delicious all the same, I know the power to run my oven is guaranteed. Sadly many families in Cumbria won’t be having that certainty, in fact […]

I’m delighted to say that our headline speaker at Energy Live 2015 this year will be Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom. Andrea will be the first Tory minister to address our conference since we started in 2012 and I am sure you will be keen to ask her what the Conservatives recent polices really mean for […]

So with 48 hours to go I finally heard something about energy in this election race. This morning the Prime Minister actually talked about energy policies and defended his government’s green record. He was being interviewed on BBC 5 Live and quizzed on his turnaround from ‘Husky hugger’ back in 2006 to ‘Frackin follower’ today. […]

He’s had his hair makeover. He’s got his new suit. And he’s delivered his final budget. For someone considered oily by some, George Osborne showed more than a tad of liquidity in his budget today when it came to energy.

Phew, aren’t you glad of time off this Christmas? We certainly are and the team is having a well earned rest for a couple of days, after all we have been working damn hard this year! Here at ELN we have grown and produced more videos and stories than ever before. We have more readers, […]

Yesterday was the proudest moment of my time at ELN. We pulled off our biggest ever conference with close to 600 people packing the Barbican Centre in London, to watch the best content the energy sector has seen! It’s a bold claim but one I am ready to back up. After all, which other conference […]

I had the pleasure of hosting a consultants event run by Haven Power yesterday at Drax power station in Yorkshire. The theme was exploring the policy framework of the energy sector as we head to a low carbon future but unsurprisingly, the hot topic of the day was Ofgem’s TPI Code of Conduct. As you […]

Today’s been a funny one for the energy sector and the Government. A strange dance of rumour and denial where both partners seem to know the other has made a foul step but isn’t going to dob them in. The steps that led to such confusion centred around “asking the Big Six to hold prices […]
