As London converts itself into a giant Great British Bakeoff for the coronation, we take stock of the big news in this week’s energy calendar.
In a “man bites dog” news double-take, TotalEnergies is suing Greenpeace over claims around its emissions profile. Intimidation or a necessary step to set the record straight?
Cerulean Winds is moving forward with a £20bn floating wind decarbonisation plan for the UK North Sea. With ScotWind’s capacity crunch looming, the clock is ticking on local content.
And as offshore wind ramps up, delays remain around development of a skills passport for workers to make the renewables shift - due to the wind skills body.
It’s a busy week - bring your bunting.

Intermittency is often raised as the major problem holding back a shift to cleaner energy. Storing clean energy will be essential in providing security of supply, but how can governments and companies best drive the required uptake?
James Nicholson, partner at EY Parthenon, and Alex O'Cinneide, CEO and founder of Gore Street Capital, come together to dig into the pluses and minuses of batteries and more. As governments take steps to bolster domestic concerns, storage is moving front and centre in political strategising.

While bunting fever is on the rise in England, a “tsunami” of industrial action has taken root in the North Sea, with workers calling for changes to rotas, to pay and to conditions. With operators seeing profits rise, isn’t it time for the workers to see some upside?
Diplomatic relationships in West Africa have been strained this week, with Chad and Cameroon arguing over stakes in the export pipeline and Savannah Energy’s input. There are a lot of reasons for co-operation, but it seems it will require some soft talking to make progress.
The Ardersier Port is making progress with plans for a new £300mn investment from US private equity and big plans for a role in the Scotwind process. The new CEO has talked about extending the “hand of friendship” to other nearby ports, all of which will be needed to deliver Scotland’s offshore wind ambitions.

The energy transition, and projects such as Scotwind, provide an opportunity to build an economic future that benefits Scotland and local communities, as well as the environment and the climate. But when we talk about sustainable development, what do we need to do to build a future that is economically, environmentally and socially sustainable?
The second episode of the second season of Gigawaters sees Sustainable Growth Voice editor Felicia Jackson joined by Benj Sykes, the head of environment, consenting and external affairs at Orsted and Clare Kanakides, Head of Network Support at OnSide in exploring skills, jobs, a just transition and how such projects provide a unique opportunity for the younger generation.

As horrific events unfold in Sudan, our Africa Editor Ed Reed takes us through the latest and unpacks what implications there are for energy infrastructure in the country.
Next, as widespread industrial unrest hits the North Sea, we look at the threat, perceived or otherwise, of blacklisting – or NRB – in the sector. RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch believes the practice is taking place among contractors and duty holders.
Rounding us off is the latest on the Shell Brent oilfield. As OSPAR countries demand removal of the “hazardous waste” within the field’s legs, could a change in stance from the UK regulator have big implications?
This week's episode is brought to you in association with our partners UK Export Finance
