On July 25, the UK Government announced its decision to follow Scotland's lead and set its own onshore wind band at 0.9 ROCS. This decision is to be welcomed, but I am concerned at London's decision to only set this band for one year, until 2014, and immediately review it, risking yet more uncertainty for the industry and potentially discouraging investors.
The UK's new nuclear energy industry is potentially on course to be run by the French, Chinese and Russians - but all is still to play for, according to analysts.
Hurry, hurry - there is only a month left to take part in DECC's (Department of Energy and Climate Change) consultation on proposals for UK electricity market reform. And since the outcome might shape it for decades to come, it is an unusually important listening exercise.
