Mexican state oil giant Pemex was spared a rating downgrade at Moody’s despite the agency slashing Mexico’s sovereign rating to just one notch above junk status. Yet, the affirmation of Pemex’s ratings masks the struggles of the heavily indebted Mexican oil firm, which has failed to deliver profits even as oil prices surged to above $100 in recent months. Moody’s Ratings on Friday affirmed the ‘ca’ standalone credit strength of Petroleos Mexicanos, as Pemex is officially known, as well as the B1 Corporate Family…

The International Atomic Energy Agency will begin its review in 2027 in order to determine whether Singapore can make an “informed decision” on potentially deploying next-gen nuclear power as a part of its energy portfolio in coming years. The move comes at a time of enhanced international interest in nuclear power as a baseload clean energy alternative, as well as extreme turmoil in Asian energy markets as a result of the war in Iran and…

Policymakers, politicians, and the media have been talking about the need for better water policy in the desert southwest of the United States for decades. As the Colorado River, a major source of water for much of that area, continues to shrink, policymakers are having a hard time keeping up with nature. A new 10-year plan contemplates cutting water supplies for Arizona, Nevada, and California by up to 40 percent, depending on availability. Not surprisingly, these states don't like the plan that the Trump Administration said it will impose on…

Motorway services will be central to the EV transition, but urgent action is needed to unlock grid capacity, writes Tim Gittins The UK has now passed a significant milestone with more than 2m electric vehicles on the road. It is a powerful signal of the pace at which transport is changing, and of the scale of the challenge now facing policymakers and industry alike in ensuring the infrastructure exists to support that transition at pace in practice, not just in principle. Since the opening of Watford Gap in 1959, the UK's first motorway service…

European natural gas prices fell more than 5% to around €46.3 per megawatt hour, their lowest level in two weeks, amid optimism that the United States and Iran could soon reach a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz following U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that a deal was nearing finalization after extensive calls with Middle Eastern leaders and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

European data center power purchase agreement (PPA) volumes fell from 4.2 gigawatts (GW) in 2024 to 2.6 GW in 2025, even as capacity buildout accelerated sharply. The drop reflects offshore wind delays and increased challenges in agreeing on PPA price points due to falling capture rates and rising frequency of negative wholesale power price hours, particularly for solar PV. In addition, the race to secure power has led some major hyperscalers to reassess their clean energy ambitions, moderating one of the key demand signals that had supported European…

The closed Strait of Hormuz has created a major fertilizer shock and threatens food security in developing nations as sulfur and phosphate exporters from the Middle East struggle to ship supply to the global markets.

SABIC and Ma'aden, two Saudi chemicals giants, have tried to re-route part of their shipments from the ports on the Red Sea that do not need the Strait of Hormuz to ship…
