The North Sea has been a crucial asset to the UK for decades. It provides oil and gas to meet our own energy needs, and also exports, contributing significantly to our economy.
An independent taskforce in the North Sea is critical to navigating the energy transition, says Shevaun Haviland, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce.
On 21 March, green smoke rose from the blast furnace at Tata Steel in IJmuiden, the Netherlands, as steelworkers across Europe mobilised to demand a just transition to green steel.
European steelworkers demand action for a just transition to green steel. A coordinated industrial deal is crucial to secure jobs, decarbonise steel and ensure Europe’s strategic autonomy, says Judith Kirton-Darling, General Secretary of IndustriALL Europe.
Like many others worldwide, the UK’s power sector is grappling with the complexities of integrating a surge of new cleantech power sources, including wind and solar, into the national grid.
The UK power sector faces urgent challenges in integrating renewable energy into the grid. With more than 50GW of new capacity targeted by 2030, major grid upgrades and energy storage investments are essential, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC.
The crucial role of oil and gas in the UK’s energy transition and supply chain cannot be overstated.
Oil and gas are pivotal to the UK’s energy transition, but current policies limit their potential to support net-zero goals. Balancing support for conventional and emerging technologies is essential for a successful transition, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC
EIC has represented energy companies’ interests for more than 80 years.
Despite the evolution of the UK energy sector, the supply chain remains unheard and under-supported, with critical gaps in policy and investment. This is causing significant disruption and missed opportunities for the sector as it transitions to a sustainable and integrated energy future – a reality that EIC’s new manifesto seeks to address, writes Tom Wadlow
The success of the renewable energy sector relies on stable and consistent government policies, a principle that holds for all sectors.
Stable government support and industry collaboration are crucial to driving innovation and growth in renewable energy, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC.

Policymakers’ decisions shape the energy sector’s future, but without industry input, policies can hinder innovation and competitiveness. From Brazil’s economic challenges to the UK’s low-carbon tech ambitions, the lack of dialogue with the supply chain poses critical risks. Is the energy supply chain being listened to?
Energy Focus puts the big question to four members
Achieving net zero requires more than ambition; it demands a supportive environment for innovation, investment and skilled labour.
The message from EIC members is clear: reaching net-zero targets hinges on having consistent and supportive policies, well-designed financial incentives and a skilled workforce, says Mahmoud Habboush at EIC
