Exploring the Future of HVDC Interconnectors: A Transformative Shift in Global Energy Networks
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) links, or "interconnectors"—onshore and offshore cables designed to enable the flexible, bi-directional flow of electricity between countries—are rapidly becoming the backbone of global energy markets. As nations race to meet decarbonisation targets, these interconnectors aim to lower energy costs and meet growing demand, driving the transition towards greener energy systems.

HVDC Links & Interconnectors: Unlocking Europe's Renewable Energy Grid
HVDC Links & Interconnectors: Unlocking Europe's Renewable Energy Grid
The UK and Europe are undergoing a green-energy revolution and there has been unprecedented investment across wind and solar in the last decade. The proportion of energy generated from renewable sources is increasing rapidly. However, it is not enough to merely generate this energy, it must also be supplied to where it is needed, when it is needed.

Decarbonising the Built Environment – EPC, MEES and the Cost Implications
Decarbonising the Built Environment – EPC, MEES and the Cost Implications
Since its introduction in 2007, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) has been the main method of assessing the energy efficiency of buildings in the UK. The Government has recently revisited the EPC requirements, seeking to update them and make them more stringent. Currently, proposed Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) legislation mandates a phased implementation of the EPC B by 2030 requirement, with EPC C by 2027 set as an interim milestone for all commercial non-domestic buildings.

Carbon Capture Storage – “A Necessity, Not an Option” in UK’s Transition to Net Zero
Carbon Capture Storage – “A Necessity, Not an Option” in UK’s Transition to Net Zero
To achieve net zero emissions, industry - the biggest source of greenhouse gases - needs to rapidly scale up its use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. CCS has been deemed a “necessity, not an option” by climate change experts for the UK to deliver net zero emissions. So far, the deployment of CCS has been slow and uneven, but there are signs of acceleration.
