Ok, we are cynical. The current electric utility policy environment is not exactly what you would call a level playing field, fairly balancing corporate and public interests. Quite the contrary. Right now, we have highly profitable (and politically influential) corporations facing underpowered civil servants in diminished regulatory agencies. State regulators are in a position to grant data centers and possibly other enormous users of electricity the opportunity to milk huge subsidies from unsuspecting consumers. How? By putting these vast new…

Egypt continues to scramble to meet its gas demand and seeks higher purchases of LNG in the next three years than previously planned, sources with knowledge of the matter have told Bloomberg.  Egypt turned from a net LNG exporter to a net LNG importer at the end of 2024 as the country imported last year the highest number of LNG cargoes in years as it looked to ease the strain on its grid and industry amid energy shortages that led to rolling blackouts last summer.  The biggest gas discovery in the Mediterranean, Zohr, helped…

Just last week, Prime Minister Netanyahu recalled his Israeli negotiating team from Doha - which is certainly not a first instance - as talks broke down, also after the US representative mentioned dissatisfaction with Hamas' position. On Sunday night, the Houthis of Yemen declared it will target merchant ships belonging to any company that does business with Israeli ports.
