Partnering with an Apollo-led consortium, the investment supports the development of the world’s largest single offshore wind farm off the Norfolk coast.

The Government of Alberta has signed a major memorandum of understanding with South Korea’s Hanwha Group. This partnership aims to expand energy exports and industrial growth between the two regions.

It focuses on crude oil, hydrogen and long term defence infrastructure to strengthen economic security and trade.
The UK Government has officially granted a Development Consent Order for the Springwell Solar Farm in Lincolnshire. This major planning approval allows the joint project between EDF power solutions limited and Luminous Energy to move toward the construction phase.

UK-based Gresham House has acquired Asia Clean Capital Vietnam to expand its renewable energy footprint. The deal follows the integration of SUSI Partners into the firm’s energy transition division.
