Weekend press: Gas network battles revolt against hydrogen trial

Northern Gas Networks is battling to prevent its proposed hydrogen trial in Redcar from suffering the same fate as Cadent’s Whitby project, which was the only other candidate to become the UK’s first ‘hydrogen village’ but was cancelled earlier this year due to local opposition. Also in the latest round-up of the weekend’s papers, the government is warned that heat pumps are currently ‘too noisy’ for millions of British homes and England sees no new applications for onshore wind farms.

Wales & West Utilities explores gas and electricity smart links

Wales & West Utilities (WWU) has launched a project to explore how smart links between gas and electricity networks can make better use of renewable energy. The HyVoltage Project is being led by the gas network operator, with National Grid Electricity Distribution as a non-funding partner. It will assess the viability of introducing what WWU calls “flexible vector conversion sites” with integrated smart links between both gas and electricity distribution networks.
