Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Millions of consumers choose renewable tariffs, generating more than £1bn in renewable certificate (REGO) spending since 2020. But current regulations don’t direct that money towards the clean power Britain needs during expensive peak hours. The UK’s regulation treats all renewable certificates equally—whether they represent power generated during cheap, sunny afternoons or scarce, high-demand evenings.
The Matched Clean Power Index, launching October 27 at www.matched.energy, ranks suppliers by how well they align renewable generation with customer demand. The index uses public data from Elexon, Ofgem, and NESO to track the power served to customers on a half-hourly basis for 213 TWh of consumption — roughly 75% of the UK market.
More than 30 experts across the sector have contributed to the methodology, including researchers at Imperial College and several energy suppliers.
