  1. This is great news. The more distributed and interconnected renewables are, the more robust the grid becomes.

    > The UK will not regain its membership [of the North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC)] but the European Commission said it will benefit from a “privileged framework for co-operation”.

    > The offshore grid links Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway.

    > The initiative is expected to support the UK’s targets to increase offshore wind fivefold to 50GW and deliver 18GW of electricity interconnector capacity – up from 8.4 GW today – by 2030.
