Fuel Watch: Questions loom over completion of Southern Gas Corridor
Financial problems are said to be looming for the Southern Gas Corridor, according to a recent report.
Industry Perspective: Incentivising energy storage

Technology: Frequency response goes offshore
A wind-battery storage hybrid system being installed at the Burbo Bank offshore wind farm is expected to pave the way for rapid frequency response services to ensure grid stability. This kind of development comes in the face of a dramatic fall in system inertia as thermal energy is phased out and replaced by variable renewables.
