Clean Energy Technology Supply Chain Data
…an essential role to play. The availability of good-quality, timely data is crucial to gaining this understanding and to identifying and addressing supply chain vulnerabilities.This report is provided as an input to the discussions taking place as part of the Global Clean Power Alliance Supply Chains Mission – an initiative established by the Government of the United Kingdom to advance practical solutions to strengthen clean power supply chains. This report addresses the data component of this initiative and explores the challenges – and potential solutions – to the paucity of granular and timely data associated with clean energy technology supply chains.

Oil Market Report - May 2025
…export grades below the $60/bbl price cap. At the time of writing, North Sea Dated was trading at around $66/bbl. In the balance Oil prices resumed their downward trajectory in late April and early May as trade tensions impacted financial and commodity markets and OPEC+ agreed to a further unwinding of production cuts. Bearish sentiment subsequently eased somewhat after the United States reached a trade deal with the United Kingdom on 8 May, and a 90-day accord with China on 12 May. Nonetheless, increased trade uncertainty is expected to weigh on the world economy and, by extension…

Grid investments
…take less than one year to deploy. Demand-side measures can also reduce grid congestion, a key factor in determining costs to manage the system. These congestion management costs tripled in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States from 2019 to 2022, and can constrain industrial expansion. Implementing energy efficiency and demand response measures can decrease and shift peak demand to less congested periods when electricity prices are lower and there is less stress on grid infrastructure. Demand response has seen rising uptake around the world, but further electrification and demand decarbonisation are expected to significantly increase its importance…

Energy security
…to some of the most stringent fuel economy standards both for passenger and commercial vehicles. A closer look at electricity security Energy efficiency and demand response policies can also contribute to electricity security by reducing the risk of outages resulting from peak demand.Different programmes have demonstrated success in reducing peak electricity demand and preventing outages. Studies in the United Kingdom and the United States show that real-time feedback and pre-event communications lead to reductions in consumption and peak demand of about 3%.This is especially relevant in regions where grid reliability is a significant concern. For instance…
