Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Stark on AR8, connections reform, grid charging and more
Q: Do you have any fears around AR7 projects and how their offers might differ from expectations, potentially affecting deliverability?
He expresses confidence overall, notes edge cases may occur, but believes the majority know where they need to be and that the system's institutions understand the importance of AR7 projects; emphasis remains on delivery certainty and timely financial close.
Chris Stark on AR8, connections reform, grid charging and more
Q: And when you come to, all take good things must come to an end. When you come to hang up your spurs in this position, what for you will constitute a job well done?
Stark suggests he isn't ready to step away, but aims for delivering the 2030 framework, making sure the planned grid and policy reforms are in place, and ensuring tangible progress on connections, grid upgrades, and financing—essentially delivering usable power and a more stable, long-term system.
Cutting costs back on the offshore wind agenda
Q: What should the UK do instead of clean power in the interim, and what technologies are ready to deploy at scale and at low cost?
A balanced approach that includes onshore wind, solar, and offshore wind with market reforms to improve signals, electrification, and policy stability to drive down costs while maintaining deployment.
Cutting costs back on the offshore wind agenda
Q: I'll ask you about deliverability in a moment, but on the first point around predictability, do you think the renewable sector in the UK has that predictability from this current government?
Yes, I think they have been supportive, but as political pressures rise there will be challenges within government that require ongoing dialogue and clear signals to maintain investor confidence.
'Too much noise around energy from alpha males with big egos but little knowledge'
Q: How do locational signals in Scotland and England affect project planning for wind?
Locational signals are listened to, but the devil is in the details; partnerships with the grid and understanding demand, speeds up deployment, with opportunities in both Scotland and England.
