SB Energy will build a 10-gigawatt (GW) server farm and 10 GW of new generation capacity, with at least 9.2 GW being gas-fired, to support both the local grid and the datacenter.

Of the UK's top 10 datacentre projects, only one - at East Havering in Essex, with projected capacity of more than 600MW - is in the London area. The remainder, totalling just under 4GW, are spread north from Oxfordshire, to Lincolnshire, North Wales, the north east and Scotland, most being sites that can tap into offshore wind or nuclear power.

The UK's close friendship with Ireland is going from strength to strength and I am pleased that we are working together on growth, energy, security and more. This new Irish investment coming into the UK is one part of a much bigger picture of our flourishing cultural, commercial and security ties.

Electrification generated about $5 billion in revenue in '22, and we now expect that number to be $13.5 billion to $14 billion in '26, and we are just getting started. Total backlog hit a record $150 billion at year-end 2025. That's not a quarterly number, that's a multi-year revenue runway already locked in.

TfL currently uses about 1.6 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity each year, making it the largest single electricity consumer in London. Once operational, the solar installations could supply up to 65,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of renewable electricity each year - equivalent to roughly two-thirds of the Victoria line's annual power consumption.

Midstream dividend ETFs are an underrated way to derive income from the stock market, mainly because Wall Street is still overlooking them. ETFs like the Alerian MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMLP), USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund (NYSEARCA:UMI), and Global X MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:MLP) have outperformed most classic income vehicles, and have sometimes done so with double the yield. Midstream energy companies include pipeline operators and storage facility owners that transport oil and natural gas from production sites to refineries and end users.

The UK is entering a pivotal phase in the evolution of its digital economy as artificial intelligence (AI) shifts from experimental innovation to mainstream dependency.

Anthropic is the latest AI company promising to limit the impact its data centers have on nearby residents' electricity bills. The company said it would pay higher monthly electricity charges in order to cover 100 percent of the upgrades needed to connect its data centers to power grids. "This includes the shares of these costs that would otherwise be passed onto consumers," the announcement says. Anthropic didn't provide details today about any agreements it has inked with energy companies in order to accomplish these goals.

A Russian attack killed four people, including three small children, in the Ukrainian city of Bohodukhiv, west of Kharkiv, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said on the Telegram messaging app early on Wednesday.

Russian attacks on energy infrastructure left the Lozova community in the Kharkiv region without electricity, local official Serhii Zelenskyy said.
