Megan Cunningham reposted thisMegan Cunningham reposted thisThe climate for businesses located within the Great Britain electricity market that require large quantities of electricity to operate has been a challenging one in recent years. On 23 June 2025, the Department for Business and Trade published The UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy (“the Strategy”), a document which sets out its ten-year plan for encouraging investment in UK businesses in certain target sectors. The focus of this Law-Now is the measures proposed in the Strategy that are specifically aimed at mitigating barriers from the perspective of procuring electricity connections and electricity supplies.

Megan Cunningham shared thisEnjoyed an excellent lunch hosted by The Energy Industries Club today listening to Chris Stark CBE discussing all things Clean Power 2030. Thanks for organising William Fortescue!Megan Cunningham shared thisAnother brilliant lunch at the The Energy Industries Club. A full house? It’s becoming the norm. A top energy sector speaker? It’s our USP Thank you Chris Stark CBE for an excellent presentation and engagement. Chris opened his address with “I’m not going to talk about Climate change” Really? Isn’t that we why we were all present? An open and detailed summary of the way forward and “work in progress” In truth we (Chris?) ran out of time, and yes he has committed to return next season. The Q&A could have extended well into the afternoon. Next month it is the voice of the parliamentary opposition. We are delighted to confirm that our guest speaker for May will be Claire Coutinho MP Claire is always a popular speaker and 21st May promises to be another sellout event. For bookings and membership enquiries contact info@energyindustriesclub.org See you in May

Megan Cunningham liked thisMegan Cunningham liked thisI’m waiting at Milano airport for my flight back to the UK and reflecting on two days with Francesca Feller, paolo cresci and the great Arup energy team based here. Some familiar themes surfaced, especially in our discussions with clients and collaborators: 👉 new renewable generation at one end of the country and major load centres at the other requiring a big investment in the grid. 👉 city authorities wishing to decarbonise, grow and encourage investment. 👉 data centres looking to build on sites near cities and needing to be designed as active participants of the energy system. 👉 investments needed in distribution networks to address resilience, climate change and load growth, whilst minimising costs to consumers. My key take away: local presence, local excellence and local relationships, combined with international experience is a great way for Arup to play a part in addressing these challenges. Looking forward to returning to Milano again soon! #wearearup #futureofenergy #electrifyeurope Mauro Oliveri

Megan Cunningham liked thisAs the dust settles on Ofgem's June announcement, Louise and I have written a short explainer for LexisNexis setting out the key points to note from the #LDES minded-to decisions and consultation. As ever, don't hesitate to get in touch if it's helpful to discuss further. Link to the article in the comments ⬇️Megan Cunningham liked thisLouise Dalton and Edward Longden have authored a new analysis for LexisNexis on Ofgem's minded-to decisions for the first application window under the LDES cap and floor subsidy scheme. In the article, they examine the rationale behind the new cap and floor regime, the projects Ofgem is minded to support, and the practical implications for developers, funders, lawyers and other key stakeholders.

Megan Cunningham liked thisMegan Cunningham liked thisLast night Arup hosted a client event in #Madrid on the eve of the annual WindEurope conference, which is in the city this year. Titled “Accelerating Europe’s Energy Transition - How to balance growing demand with net zero targets”, I was pleased to chair a panel discussion on the beautiful rooftop terrace of ABC Serrano. We discussed demand growth, constrained renewables, grid buildout and what the rest of Europe can learn from Spain’s approach. My thanks to our panellist's, Xiana Lamela, André Franco Pena , Hector de Lama Gutierrez , Santiago Cardona López and Pablo Checa Sanz for creating such an engaging discussion, and Michael Daly and Ramon Rodriguez for opening comments. #wearearup

Megan Cunningham liked thisMegan Cunningham liked thisOn Tuesday Arup hosted a delegation from #Taiwan led by the Deputy Minister at the National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan, Faa-Jeng Lin. It was a pleasure to meet him and the delegation. We had the opportunity to hear a little about Taiwan's energy transition and particular plans for hydrogen and carbon capture and storage. We were able to answer some of the questions the delegation had about the UK's industrial clusters and how the public and private sector are working together. #wearearup

Megan Cunningham liked thisMegan Cunningham liked thisLast week, Louise Dalton and I had the pleasure of visiting clients and colleagues in Madrid to talk all things BESS and beyond. A huge thank you to everyone who we met for your hospitality and engaging conversations. The weather wasn't bad either… let's just say it made returning to London a little harder than usual! Beyond the excellent coffee, food and sunshine, we had insightful debates and discussions on what's happening across European energy markets: 🔋 Spain is buzzing with opportunities: Even with ongoing uncertainty around the capacity market, the appetite for the Spanish market remains strong. In particular, hybridisation of assets is a key focus to renewables investors and standalone BESS is also being actively pursued. This evidences that Spain represents a real area of growth and opportunity for storage developers and investors. 🌍 That momentum extends well beyond Spain: We're seeing similar levels of interest and activity in many other European jurisdictions, including Germany, Italy, Poland and Scandinavia, but other jurisdictions as well. BESS is truly becoming a pan-European sector and we are very excited to be involved in this growth. ⚡Market shocks: There's a lot of uncertainty in terms of the Middle East situation, increasing commodity costs, market interventions such as the Decreto Bollette in Italy and the phase out of Chinese Export VAT rebates, and market changes, including application of grid fees and increasing grid curtailment and connection queues. It remains to be seen how these factors will impact the speed of European storage deployment, but it is clear that this technology is fundamental to achieving the European energy transition. Thanks again to everyone who made time for us. Looking forward to continuing the conversations – ideally somewhere with similar weather! ☀️ CMS CMS Energy & Climate Change #BESS #CoLocation #Solar #Hybridisation

Expectations shape everything, right? The legal world is no different. Clients today want more - more value, more transparency, more strategic thinking. This shift has a huge impact on law firms, especially when it comes to attracting top-tier fee earners. Remember that time when you were considering moving firms but hesitated due to client demands? With evolving client expectations, the pressure is on. Lawyers want firms that support innovation, use advanced tech, and foster a healthy work-life balance. Savvy firms get it. They adapt quickly, offering flexible hours, hybrid work models, and invest in top-notch tech tools. They nurture a culture where lawyers can be both excellent professionals and individuals. Industry insights show that firms embracing these changes attract and retain the best talent. They don't just talk about client-centricity; they live it. If you're in the legal field and looking to progress, or a firm aiming to lead, now's the time to act. Curious to learn more? Let's talk. #LegalCareers #LawFirms #TopTalent

In-house legal teams are no longer just reactive, they’re becoming strategic partners at the heart of business transformation. A recent Law Gazette feature highlights how mergers and acquisitions are reshaping mid-market legal departments. It shows how in-house units are adapting not only to integration demands but also to support evolving business models with greater resilience and agility. For financial services legal leaders, these shifts are particularly relevant. Restructuring often involves: ✔️ Rebalancing generalist and specialist roles ✔️ Aligning legal more closely with risk, compliance, and operations ✔️ Retooling governance frameworks to keep pace with business complexity The takeaway is clear, legal functions are being reimagined to deliver long-term strategic value.
