Stablegrid Group has chosen ITM Power (ITM) as the technology partner and supplier for two energy infrastructure projects in Germany, totalling 710 MW of electrolyser capacity. Providing grid-friendly loads and growing hydrogen production capacities are key to the further expansion of renewable energy. The two projects will operate exclusively for grid balancing, stabilising the power system, and using underground caverns as hydrogen storage facilities to absorb the discrepancies between electricity supply and hydrogen consumption. This is referred to as “predispatch”.
Comment: It is evident that the renewable energy space has finally come of age in 2025, something which is just as well as far as companies such as ITM, who have been flagging this scenario for years, but are now finally on the zeitgeist.
UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) announce that due to continued investor demand, the Company has accepted a further investment of £0.52 million by means of a placing at a price of 0.016 pence per share. These additional funds now bring the total new investment into the Company since 2nd October 2025 to over £5 million (see RNS of 2nd, 3rd and 6th October 2025), which will be used to fund the Company’s currently planned and budgeted hydrogen storage, hydrogen production and energy transition activities to end 2026.
Comment: After the first rate National Gas MOU announced last month, UKOG has reverted to its historic pattern of compulsive fund raising. This may or may not be justified as far as its shiny new energy strategy, but we are back to the same old pattern.
Tullow Oil plc (TLW) issues the following business and guidance update. 2025 Group production guidance is expected to be at the lower end of the 40-45 kboepd range, as previously guided. Capital expenditure and decommissioning expenditure guidance for 2025 remains c.$185 million and c.$20 million, respectively. Ian Perks, Chief Executive Officer, Tullow, commented today: “Since joining as CEO in September I have been impressed by the calibre of our team and the quality of our assets. Our near-term priority remains to put Tullow on a long-term sustainable financial footing. To achieve this, we are focused on maximising operational efficiency in Ghana, cost optimisation, and refinancing the Group’s capital structure.
Comment: Given the 30% decline in the shares so far this morning, the recently arrived CEO might be wishing he had not taken the gig. Despite his gushing comments regarding his team, the lowered guidance has taken its toll.
