    EVOL: Burnham and energy, ScotWind spending, and the track process

    This week, the UK readied itself for a change at number 10 and Andy Burnham is set to take over as Labour leader. This prompted demands from industry regarding how he should approach the energy sector.  In this episode of Energy Voice Out Loud, Aberdeen features lead Ryan Duff is joined by renewables reporter Michael Behr and North West correspondent Floyd March.  Up first, the trio discuss the prospect of Burnham's Britian after Unite the Union tentatively backed him and two demands were made from industry. Early in the week, OEUK signed a letter with 13 other organisations demanding Westminster backing for domestic oil and gas production. Additionally, the Confederation of British Industry and Energy UK urged the incumbent PM to reduce energy bills for companies. But will Burnham make the desired changes, and can he without radically departing from the manifesto Labour was elected under?  Next, ScotWind is back in the headlines as it was revealed that only 30% of spending from 16 projects that secured leases in 2022 is going to firms in Scotland. Manufacturing proved to be where the domestic supply chain was slipping, although there are no shortage of firms that have made commitments to start building, if they get orders. So that begs the question, what is the missing link between developers who have the ambition to use domestic manufacturing and the firms looking to deliver it? Finally, our journalists take a closer look at the track 1 and 2 winning projects after Floyd spent the day at an event regarding HyNet. The North West-based carbon capture storage site is looking to rely heavily on local engagement while the Northern Endurance Partnership is partnering with an upcoming power plant that will be its ket emitter partner. But what about track 2? Viking received £65.5 million from Westminster this week to support the project to final investment decision, but Acorn is still waiting for Storegga to find a buyer for its stake in the Scottish CCS project.  For more energy news, analysis and insight, visit Energy Voice: https://www.energyvoice.com/ Listen to Energy Voice Out Loud: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oOm2X6UsU1eybnTCoBFJx Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/energy-voice-out-loud/id1508117133 Podbean: https://energyvoiceoutloud.podbean.com/ Follow Energy Voice: LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/energy-voice X: https://x.com/EnergyVoiceNews Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/energyvoicenews/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EnergyVoiceNews Energy Voice Out Loud brings you news, analysis and expert insight from across the energy sector, covering oil and gas, renewables, policy, investment, the energy transition and the people shaping the industry.

    EVOL: Grid 'scandal', AR8 pricing, and is it decom's day?

    This week, shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho lambasted a “scandal” within NESO after she claimed senior managers had ordered operators to hide how close the gird was to failing last month.    In this episode of Energy Voice Out Loud, Aberdeen features lead Ryan Duff is joined by renewables reporter Michael Behr and E-FWD editor Ed Reed   First up, Ed discusses the situation with NESO and the politicisation of the grid and the upgrades it needs to deliver on the UK's clean power ambitions. This came after Coutinho pointed to the frequency of the grid dropping below the normal operating limit of 49.80Hz on 23 June. NESO ultimately disputed claims, but there is proving to be a shortage of analysts and industry commentators willing to put their heads above the parapet on the matter. What is the current state of decommissioning in the North Sea and what is causing contracts to be awarded? Our trio of reporters discuss and ask you to provide you two cents.    Next, Micheal talks us through the rules for the next allocation round (AR). This week the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) announced the strike price ceilings for the various technologies that are able to take part in AR8. Deepwater wind was added to the same pot as floating and this has led to a debate as to whether this technology will be the hot new thing in UK waters. Also, the trio of reporters ask if the AR scheme is still fit for purpose and what should replace it if not.    Finally, Ryan asks if all that cash that is set to be spend on UK North Sea decommissioning is finally set to be delivered. This week, Apache handed out contracts for work on its Beryl platform and ACE Winches founder Alfie Cheyne opened a new firm with managing director Ross Anderson, Blue Ocean Decom.

    Why going global is worth the risk for energy firms | EVOL x EIC

    Developing a new export market remains the hardest, most expensive way for businesses to grow. After finding and establishing relationships with reliable partners and navigating risks involving new legal and payment systems, it can take firms up to three to four years to see a return on investment. But that return is also worth it: “The truth is the best companies in the world, those that have the highest revenues, the highest revenue growth, the highest profits pay their people best, the ones that last longest are global businesses,” says Energy Industries Council (EIC) CEO Stuart Broadley.He was speaking to Energy Voice news editor Erikka Askeland on this special edition of Energy Voice Out Loud. Tune in for more insights on this and more including the inside track on EIC’s upcoming Energy Exports Conference in Aberdeen 2-3 September in Aberdeen.

    EVOL: CNOOC production, Scottish nukes, and Piper Alpha book

    This week CNOOC revealed production figures for its UK assets in a document that painted a "gloomy" picture of the operator's future in the North Sea, according to one analyst. In this episode of Energy Voice Out Loud, Aberdeen features lead Ryan Duff is joined in the studio by news editor Erikka Askeland and reporter Mat Perry. Up first, Mat runs through CNOOC's production figures which explained why the Chinese operator decided to not electrify offshore operations through the Green Volt floating wind farm. Could CNOOC be looking to sell up? Even if it were, who's buying? Next, Erikka discusses nuclear sites in Scotland after the UK government produced a report listing the best sites for the energy source. Although, the Scottish government is still firmly against new nuclear power north of the border as the country's last power plant is set to shut down by the end of the decade. Finally, Ryan tells us about Shane Gorman's latest book. The son of David Gorman, a safety office who died during the Piper Alpha disaster 38 years ago, has written a book about how the North Sea's darkest day has shaped his life. Published on the anniversary of the last day Shane saw his father, the book was launched on Thursday 2 July. For those wishing to pay their respects to those who lost their lives in the Piper Alpha disaster, a service will be held on Monday 6 July at 1300 in the North Sea Memorial Gardens at Hazlehead Park, Aberdeen.

    EVOL X Drager

    Tune in to this special podcast with Energy Voice news editor Erikka Askeland, along with Neil Shepherd, marketing manager, Draeger Marine and Offshore and Katharine Descamps, offshore wind development leader for Jera Nex BP and an ambassador for Powerful Women, a sector-backed initiative working for a gender-balanced diverse and inclusive energy sector. The group’s annual State of the Nation report offers key data into the contribution women are making to this changing and dynamic sector. As the energy system transitions, anecdotal evidence backed up by data shows women are being disproportionately impacted – particularly in the North Sea. In this special podcast, hear what companies like Draeger are doing to support and grow its pipeline to ensure better balance and diversity in its workforce and its leadership. The trio also discuss some of the report’s key suggestions for ensuring the energy sector finds all the talent it needs to meet one of the world’s greatest engineering challenges creating a clean energy system.
