Elections in the UK and France this week promise mixed signals for clean energy investment. In Montel's Energy Transition Weekly this Friday: A landslide win for the UK’s Labour Party promises to hasten decarbonisation, starting with a re-embrace of onshore wind. “We’re expecting them to go ahead with a flurry of smaller legislation.” But across the channel in France, renewable energy faces an ominous outlook, pending the outcome of parliamentary elections that could bring the far-right National Rally to power. Also in this week’s newsletter: the cost of grid congestion in Europe falls, but the volume of interventions rises; Germany clinches a plan to begin ordering “hydrogen-ready” power plants and a renewables specialist flips the script on commercial deals to develop clean energy, auctioning its offers to the best takers. I will be off for summer holidays from next week and return in August. My colleague Laurence Walker will look after the newsletter until then.
