Octopus Energy have admitted that customers in the Southeast of England would pay more under Zonal Pricing.
In a panel debate organised by the trade publication, Utility Week, Rachel Fletcher, Director for Regulation and Economics at Octopus, acknowledged that “customers in the Southeast, might pay a bit more”.
Speaking on the discussion around within-day pricing, she said the “focus should be on location pricing that matters and drives the majority of benefits of zonal pricing and not the fact that customers in the southeast, on average across a year, might pay a bit more.”
The comments are in direct conflict with a report published earlier this year by Octopus Energy, and continues to be promoted by the company, which suggested zonal energy pricing would reduce household energy bills.
Recent research by Fairer Energy Future found that the British public overwhelmingly reject zonal energy pricing proposals, claiming the plans are unfair and could be impractical, a new survey has found.
The research, of more than 2,000 consumers between 7th and 10th February, found that 85% of respondents thought the proposals to split the energy market in Great Britain into localised zones where prices would depend on supply, demand and availability were not ‘very fair’.
The study from independent research house Yonder also found that a vast majority of people (70%) said they did not consider ‘lower energy bills’ to be a top five factor for when considering where to live.
This finding runs counter to pro-zonal claims that businesses and consumers would seek to move to the cheapest energy areas if zonal pricing were implemented.
Within the debate, Rachel Fletcher also acknowledged that the move to zonal pricing would not be simple or straightforward and would impact investment decisions . Read Related Article


Octopus Energy’s generation arm is making another big splash in offshore wind, chartering ahead with a 10% stake in the East Anglia One wind farm – one of the world’s largest operational wind farms.

The 714 MW wind farm is located 43 kilometers off the coast of Suffolk in the East of England and has been powering Britain with green energy since 2021.

With 102 turbines, it is among the top 10 biggest wind farms in the world, generating enough clean power to electrify around 700,000 homes a year.

This marks Octopus’ fourth investment in a British offshore wind farm and its seventh in Europe. It builds on its stakes in Hornsea One, Lincs and Walney Extension in Britain, Butendiek in Germany, and Borssele V and Borssele III & IV in the Netherlands.

Octopus is also making a play in France, announcing plans to enter the country’s offshore wind tender and develop a brand-new offshore wind farm in partnership with Skyborn Renewables.

Octopus Energy Generation – one of Europe’s largest renewables-only investors – has already surpassed $2 billion in offshore wind deals in two years.

Octopus acquired this latest wind farm stake from Macquarie Asset Management on behalf of Vector, Octopus’ innovative offshore wind fund, which invests in fixed and floating offshore wind and pioneering tech to reduce costs.

In addition to expanding its offshore wind portfolio, Octopus is also driving the creation of new wind farms globally through investments in developers and innovations like its ‘Fan Club’, which offers customers cheaper electricity when it’s windy. . Read Related News


Öresundskraft Kraft & Värme AB and INEOS on behalf of Project Greensand have signed an agreement to investigate the opportunity to store up to 210,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually from Sweden in Denmark. The captured carbon dioxide is planned for safe and permanent storage in Greensand storage facility located in the Danish part of the North Sea, with the first volumes expected to be stored from 2028.

This cross-border collaboration represents a significant step toward realizing the potential of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the Greater Copenhagen Area and beyond. It also underlines the vital importance of international cooperation in achieving climate goals and mitigating global climate change.

Stefan Håkansson, CEO of Öresundskraft, says: “This agreement with INEOS marks an important milestone for us. We are at the forefront among our European industry peers when developing a sustainable and fully integrated CCS solution for energy recovery from waste. Our project has been awarded €54 million from the EU Innovation Fund and is one of Sweden’s first CCS initiatives. Our goal is to offer climate-neutral district heating and achieve negative emissions. Connecting Swedish carbon capture with Danish storage infrastructure highlights the importance of international cooperation in reaching climate goals. We are proud to be working with INEOS on this.”

INEOS, through the Project Greensand consortium with partners Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden, is leading the development of one of Europe’s most advanced CO₂ storage sites. The latest development will play a key role in receiving CO₂ from various European countries, including Sweden, for safe injection into offshore geological formations in Greensand.

INEOS Britannia announces that it has withdrawn its intention to challenge for the next America’s Cup. The decision has been taken after a protracted negotiation with Athena Racing Ltd following the conclusion of 37th America’s Cup, last year in Barcelona. The agreement that had been reached with Athena Racing would have allowed both parties to compete in the next Cup but it depended on a rapid resolution. INEOS Britannia had agreed the substantive terms very quickly, but Athena has failed to bring the agreement to a timely conclusion. INEOS Britannia is of the opinion that this six-month delay has undermined its ability to prepare for the next Cup and so has reluctantly withdrawn its intention to challenge.. Read Related News

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), and the Electronics City Industries Association (ELCIA), in collaboration with Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) and WRI India today launched the “STAMP: Nudging Commuter Behaviour” — a pioneering initiative that leverages behavioural science and technology to encourage commuters to shift from personal vehicles to public transport.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

With the Namma Metro Yellow Line set to launch later in 2025, Electronic City — one of Bengaluru’s largest employment hubs — will be better connected to the city. This expansion will bring over one lakh jobs closer to the metro network, offering a faster and more sustainable alternative to private transport. Recently introduced BMTC feeder buses, launched in collaboration with ELCIA and the Electronics City Industrial Township Authority (ELCITA), are providing first- and last-mile connectivity in the area.

The Station Access and Mobility Program (STAMP), led by TMF and WRI India, has been working to bridge the connectivity gap to taking public transport in Indian cities, by combining research with innovative pilots, from electric autorickshaws to a carpooling app. Launched in Bengaluru in 2017, STAMP has since expanded to six cities: Hyderabad, Kochi, Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and Delhi, enabling over 50,000 last-mile metro trips and saving 240,000 passenger minutes. Using a four-step model, it identifies gaps and customizes solutions based on each city’s metro system. Read Related News

Daimler Buses is planning further growth in the field of e-mobility – also beyond vehicles and infrastructure. To this end, the company is introducing new services to extend the useful life of electrically powered buses: For example, Daimler Buses is now offering its customers the remanufacturing of electric bus batteries. In addition, the manufacturer is expanding its range in 2026 to include a latest-generation battery replacement with a longer range. Daimler Buses thus wants to enable the longest possible useful life for its electrified vehicles – as with diesel buses. The two offers are part of an e-service offensive that looks at the entire life cycle and profitability of e-buses and batteries.

Daimler Buses is initially offering the new services for the electrically powered Mercedes-Benz eCitaro city bus. The vehicle has been in series production since 2018 and is now equipped with third-generation batteries (NMC3). In 2026, the significantly refined next battery generation (NMC4) is to follow. These services are also a possible prospect for the Mercedes-Benz eIntouro inter-city bus in the future. Daimler Buses presented a near-series prototype of the eIntouro at the end of 2024. The bus will be equipped with the same battery technology, known as LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries, as the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 long-haul truck and will be available on the market from 2026.

Till Oberwörder, CEO of Daimler Buses: “The future of buses is clearly electric. In addition to the high demand for our electrified buses and our range of services for developing turnkey e-infrastructure, we see great potential in the field of e services – and we want to exploit this potential. Our customers should be able to use electric buses as economically and for as long as conventionally powered vehicles. This makes us pioneers in the industry.” Read More


The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects recent developments in global trade policy and oil production to contribute to lower global demand growth for petroleum products through 2026, which contributes to significantly lower oil prices than previously forecast.

In its April Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), EIA points out significant uncertainties in energy supply, demand, and prices.

The STEO is based on current market conditions, and in the first week of April, numerous developments affected the global market—especially oil markets. On April 2, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order announcing a minimum 10% tariff on imports from all countries, which also included higher tariffs on some countries. On April 4, China responded by imposing 34% tariffs on imports from the United States. Amid the tariff announcements, OPEC+ members announced on April 3 that some countries will start oil production increases in May that were originally set for July.

These announcements caused the Brent crude oil spot price to fall by 12% on April 2 to $68 per barrel on April 4. EIA completed its forecasts on April 7, so the April STEO includes some of the recent changes in the energy market, but the agency expects continued volatility as market participants respond to further developments. Some key highlights from the April STEO include:

Global oil supply, demand, and prices: EIA expects continued growth in U.S. and global oil production as OPEC+ accelerates its previously announced production increases and the United States exempts energy from its recently announced tariffs. EIA expects global oil inventories to increase starting in the middle of 2025, but market uncertainty could lead to lower economic growth, which could lead to less growth in demand for petroleum products than EIA had previously forecast. The combination of growing supply and lower demand leads EIA to expect the Brent crude oil price to average less than $70 per barrel in 2025 and fall to an average of just over $60 per barrel in 2026.

Those prices are about 10% lower than the March STEO forecast and reflect more uncertainty around global oil demand growth as well the potential for additional supply from OPEC+ in the coming months. Other uncertainties in EIA’s oil price forecasts include existing sanctions on Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, which also could affect oil prices. Read More
