In this week's episode of energy transition today we discuss the outcome of the vote on France's controversial energy bill and what it means for the country's build out ambitions. In the UK, we breakdown the circumstances surrounding the government begging off support for the 11.5GW Xlinks project potentially threatening the imminent financial close on phase one. We also touch on Northvolt's ongoing piecemeal sale, the collapse of a 2.2GW hydrogen project in Australia, potential merger of Ovo...
In this week's episode of Energy Transition Today, the team breaks down the salient points of the UK's spending review and the related 10-year infrastructure strategy. Most notably, the proposal to expand the remit of the Clean Industry Bonus to subsidise onshore wind and hydrogen. Across the Channel, the French far-right has introduced a poison pill to an infrastructure bill that threatens to halt all renewable energy projects. On the news front, we go over Apollo's nuclear investment, Aries...
In this week's episode of Energy Transition Today, the team summarises the key takeaways from inspiratia's Financing Renewables Summit 2025.

The most common type of solar panel battery is called a lead-acid (LA) battery. This is because it uses lead plates as its electrolyte and water as its solution and you can go here https://goforsolar.pk/product-category/solar-inverters/ to buy best solar inverter. These batteries can be used with both flooded and open-top circuit designs.
