BNP Paribas: will no longer finance development of new oil and gas fields
?BNP Paribas?(BNPP.PA) , France's largest lender, will no longer provide any financing dedicated to the development of new oil and gas fields, the bank said on Thursday, as it reiterated its target of an 80% cut of its oil exploration financing by 2030.
Although European banks have been tightening their lending criteria for fossils fuels as part of pledges to cut financed carbon emissions to zero by 2050, environmental groups and some?activists investors ?have been urging them to go faster.
The new commitments, coming days ahead of BNP's annual shareholder meeting, also included a complete phasing out of all financing to non-diversified oil companies.
"BNP Paribas no longer provides dedicated financing for the development of new oil and gas fields, regardless of the financing terms," the bank said in a statement.
BNP Paribas had already announced plans?in January ?to cut oil exploration financing by 80% by 2030, and on Thursday it confirmed it was on track with its climate change targets for the power generation, oil and gas and automotive sectors.

India's Russia oil imports jumped tenfold in 2022
India's imports of Russian oil rose tenfold last year, according to Indian state-controlled lender Bank of Baroda.
The figures show Asia's third largest economy saved around $5bn (￡4bn) as it ramped up crude purchases from Moscow.
It comes as Western countries have been cutting their imports of energy from Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
Russia has been selling energy at a discount to countries like China and India, which is the world's third largest importer of oil.
In 2021 Russian oil accounted for just 2% of India's annual crude imports. That figure now stands at almost 20%, Bank of Baroda said.
India's purchases of oil from Russia during the last financial year, saved it around $89 per tonne of crude, the figures show.
Despite pressure from the US and Europe, India has refused to adhere to Western sanctions on Russian imports. New Delhi has also not explicitly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

RENEWABLE ENERGY NEWS
Renewable energy projects worth billions stuck on hold
Billions of pounds' worth of green energy projects are on hold because they cannot plug into the UK's electricity system, BBC research shows.
Some new solar and wind sites are waiting up to 10 to 15 years to be connected because of a lack of capacity in the system - known as the "grid".
Renewable energy companies worry it could threaten UK climate targets.
National Grid, which manages the system, acknowledges the problem but says fundamental reform is needed.
The UK currently has a 2035 target for 100% of its electricity to be produced without carbon emissions.
But meeting the target will require a big increase in the number of renewable projects across the country. It is estimated as much as?five times more solar and four times as much wind ?is needed.
The government and private investors have spent ￡198bn on renewable power infrastructure since 2010. But now energy companies are warning that significant delays to connect their green energy projects to the system will threaten their ability to bring more green power online.
A new wind farm or solar site can only start supplying energy to people's homes once it has been plugged into the grid.

Wind is main source of UK electricity for first time
Wind turbines have generated more electricity than gas for the first time in the UK.
In the first three months of this year a third of the country's electricity came from wind farms, research from Imperial College London have shown.
National Grid has also confirmed that April saw a record period of solar energy generation.

By 2035 the UK aims for all of its electricity to have net zero emissions.
"There are still many hurdles to reaching a completely fossil fuel-free grid, but wind out-supplying gas for the first time is a genuine milestone event," said Iain Staffell, energy researcher at Imperial College and lead author of the report.
The majority of the UK's wind power has come from offshore wind farms. Installing new onshore wind turbines has effectively been banned since 2015 in England.
Under current planning rules, companies can only apply to build onshore wind turbines on land specifically identified for development in the land-use plans drawn up by local councils. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak?agreed in December ?to relax these planning restrictions to speed up development.
Scientists say ?switching to renewable power is crucial to curb the impacts of climate change, which are already being felt, including in the UK, which last year recorded its hottest year since records began.

'ENERGY TRANSITION OUTLOOK 2023'
As the sector transforms into a decarbonised, digitalised industry, it is crucial that we ensure the talent pools are available and we have the right balance of skills and experience to deliver the projects of the future.
This is why? NES Fircroft ?once again partnered with? Energy Jobline ?to ensure that we reached out to as many employees and employers as possible to explore this exciting topic.
Following the success of last year’s survey, this time we follow up on some of our previous themes and investigate:
?
? If workers feel they have the skills to tackle the changing energy landscape
? Do they want to move sectors? And if they have moved, how did they find the transition?
? How do viewpoints differ across sectors?
? How do they feel macro events (such as the Russia / Ukraine conflict) will impact the industry
The topics of “projects” and “pay” were again central themes to the results and training was frequently highlighted. The survey unveiled a clear perception that salaries are certainly going in the right direction and are offering comparable packages in many cases to the traditional energy sector.?
With this report, we hope to offer energy employers a unique insight into the current temperature of the talent landscape and how they can attract, retain and develop the expertise they need.?
Thank you to everyone for their participation, we trust that you will find this research of value and look forward to working with you and continuing to serve the Energy industry in the years ahead.

NUCLEAR & POWER NEWS
Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant facing ‘catastrophic’ staff shortage amid Russian evacuation
Russia plans to relocate about 2,700 Ukrainian staff from Europe’s largest nuclear plant, Ukraine’s atomic energy company has claimed, warning of a potential “catastrophic lack of qualified personnel” at the Zaporizhzhia facility in Russian-occupied southern?Ukraine .
Workers who signed employment contracts with Russia’s nuclear agency Rosatom following Moscow’s capture of the Zaporizhzhia plant early in the war are set to be taken to?Russia ?along with their families, Energoatom said in a Telegram post on Wednesday.
The company did not specify whether the employees would be forcibly moved out of the plant, nor was it immediately possible to verify Energoatom’s claims about Moscow’s plan.
Removing staff would “exacerbate the already extremely urgent issue” of staff shortages, Energoatom said.
The Moscow-installed governor of the region ordered civilian evacuations from the area last Saturday, including from the nearby city of Enerhodar where most plant workers live. The full scope of the evacuation order was not clear.

Panasonic delays production of new Tesla battery to improve performance
Panasonic?said on Wednesday that it will delay the commercial production of its 4680 battery cells championed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and begin operations during the April to September period in 2024, later than previously scheduled, as the company aims to improve their performance.
Tesla's Japanese supplier, Panasonic, previously planned to start volume production for Tesla between April 2023 to March 2024
"Mass production rescheduled to begin during 1H FY3/25 to introduce performance improvement measures that will further enhance competitiveness," Panasonic said on its?earnings ?presentation materials, referring to the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2025.
Panasonic is running a pilot 4680 production line at its Wakayama factory in Japan, while Tesla?is already producing the 4680 battery cells, which Musk has touted as being key to making cheaper and compelling electric cars. But the carmaker struggled?to meet its targets for production and performance ?of the cells.
