In this week's episode of Energy Transition Today, we discuss the outcome of the vote on France's controversial energy bill and what it means for the country's build-out ambitions.

In the UK, we break down the circumstances surrounding the government begging off support for the 11.5GW Xlinks project, potentially threatening the imminent financial close on phase one.

We also touch on Northvolt's ongoing piecemeal sale, the collapse of a 2.2 GW hydrogen project in Australia, the potential merger of Ovo Energy and Scottish Power, and the suspension of the $6 billion (£4.4bn €5.1bn) sale process for Cubico.
