For years the expectation has been we'd see commodity price increases in copper, lithium and cobalt as low carbon energy demand takes hold. Now some are calling a surplus driven price fall as demand struggles to catch up with capacity build-outs. buff.ly/UOjTuU2

For the first time, last week, China set an absolute carbon reduction target, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by 7 to 10 percent across the entire economy by 2035 from peak levels. Details in this write up: buff.ly/yiSwi0D
TotalEnergies announce sale of 50% of US solar portfolio, £1bn/year capex reduction and purchase of 49% of upstream US gas assets. Pressure to reduce net debt-to-equity ratios, possible further divestments to follow. buff.ly/3MnXpNU
Ovo is looking at following in Octopus' steps and selling its technology arm - Kaluza - at a "unicorn" valuation. buff.ly/Z0TCAjO
The thing I don't understand about US energy policy, aside from decarbonisation, is that they need to build *a lot* of new generation capacity and network to meet demand. The economy will be impacted. You can't build enough gas/coal plant in time. buff.ly/qnvYxnm
We absolutely need to find a way for gas to power asset owners to earn a return in a market with lower load factors. But the current system isn't working for anyone. Reform is needed to ensure value and system resilience. buff.ly/VaN0fCj
Iberdrola to focus bulk of its €58bn investment on UK and US - 35% here, focus on networks and renewables (£) buff.ly/uNLmQdv
Orsted in talks to sell half of huge UK wind farm to Apollo (£) buff.ly/UvNTNiN
Two CCS projects have been chosen to receive govt funding, one at Heidelberg Materials' cement factory and one at Protos' waste-to-energy plant in Ellesmere Port in north-west England. 1.2mtCO2/yr potential.
Scottish Govt announce £8.5million in new funding to support the shift to clean energy careers in the North East of Scotland. buff.ly/BFnjHsP
Two 500MW solar sites submitted for development consent approval - Lime Down Solar Park and the Rosefield Solar Farms. Both propose to be co-located with batteries. The former reported as covering up to 2,835 hectares (!). Decisions due later this month. buff.ly/tuP89fA
Going for a walk with the kids over the water from Fawley oil refinery, where 22mt of crude oil is processed each year. It's a huge site.
Ed Miliband reportedly looking at ways in which the government can allow companies to look for and produce more oil and gas without breaking Labour’s pre-election pledge not to issue new licences on new fields. buff.ly/0qbPN6b
Ofgem staff set to strike for the duration of next week. buff.ly/8o4jtPe
I'll not give an opinion on whether Ofgem's capital resilience rules are right or not, however suppliers can't decide whether to opt in or out of them. Ofgem need to decide whether they want these rules in place or not - and then to enforce that decision. buff.ly/w56BD88
If you want a handy guide to the key energy policy decisions currently awaited, the Guardian has you covered. A nice ready reckoner for those not paying attention at the back. buff.ly/F1l48nr
The Liberal Democrats have moved away from their previous met zero by 2045 pledge, now calling for proper action to deliver net zero by 2050. libdems.org.uk/conference/mot…
On 1st October, European electricity trading shifts from 1-hour blocks to 15-minute blocks. In theory this should better match supply and demand, and boost the value of flexibility. But it'll also create some challenges. A good overview here from Montel montelnews.com/news/0429a007-…
